Thank you for your Freedom of Information request about the number of EU citizens who were living in Greater Manchester in 2017.

On 24 May we published the dataset Population of the United Kingdom by country of birth and nationality which contains the data you request in Table 2.1.

By ‘EU’ we have taken it to mean citizens of EU countries other than the UK (see Note 4 at the bottom of the table). In the UK there are 3,407,000 (+/- 93,000) non-UK EU citizens of whom 127,000 (+/- 15,000) lived in Greater Manchester during the calendar year 2017.
