Census data has revealed that a fraction under half of the 97,857 people living in the Island were born here.
The figure has dipped from the 52% or 53% that held from 1981 to 2001- a clear signal that there has been a major immigration increase over the last decade.
Rounded-up, the Census figures show that Islanders are from (rounded up): Jersey (50%), the British Isles (31%), Portugal and Madeira (7%), Poland (3%), Ireland (2%), other European countries (3%) and elsewhere in the world (4%).
