The Isle of Man Population Atlas captures and presents the population of the Isle of Man through more than 130 imaginative maps and graphs and offers an authoritative commentary on a wide range of population issues.
This website complements the information in the Atlas. Many of the maps and graphs from the Atlas have been made available here for use in accordance with copyright. This site will be used to publish new and updated information from the 2016 Census as the results become available. If you have an interest in the Isle of Man or population issues, the Atlas itself contains much more information and commentary for you to enjoy and digest.
The Isle of Man Population Atlas had two successful print runs but is now out of print.
Many thanks
