More than 1,000 Bermudians emigrated from the island between 2010 and 2016 — but 1,613 Bermudians moved back.

The 2016 Population and Housing Census Report said 7,360 people moved to the island and 1,424 left over the six-year period.

Of those that left, 1,061 were Bermudian, 354 were non-Bermudians and nine were not stated.

The report said: “The Bermudian emigrant population had a similar emigration pattern as the total emigrant population.

“Bermudians emigrated most frequently in 2014 and the least in 2011.

“In contrast, emigration for non-Bermudians dipped between 2012 and 2013 and increased thereafter.

“Furthermore, 2015 was the leading year of emigration for non-Bermudians and 2011 was the lowest year.”

The census said people who left Bermuda to settle abroad for more than a year were listed as emigrants, but those who went overseas for medical treatment, vacation or education were not.

The report also said 1,613 Bermudians and 5,747 non-Bermudians moved to the island between 2010 and 2016.

The report said: “Excluding 2016, which contains a partial year of data, the greatest immigration occurred in 2015 and the least in 2011.

“Bermudians were most likely to have immigrated in 2014 and 2015 and least likely in 2011 and 2012.

“Non-Bermudians most often immigrated in 2015 and least in 2011.

“Bermudian immigration was relatively stable with slow growth since 2011 whereas non-Bermudian immigration increased more rapidly since 2011.”

The report added the island’s population dropped by 458 over the report period from 64,237 to 63,779.
