Transience

Historically Haringey has had a high level of population turnover. The 2001 Census found a total of 36,336 migrants who moved to Haringey in the year before the Census, almost 10% of which came from outside the UK with the remainder coming from within the UK. Haringey has the 9th highest proportion of migrants in London. In the year before the 2001 Census, the top five areas that people who moved to Haringey from within the UK came from are:

• Islington
• Camden
• Hackney
• Enfield
• Barnet

The 2001 Census found that 20,462 people left Haringey to live elsewhere in the UK in the year before the Census. The top five areas that these residents moved to are:

• Enfield
• Barnet
• Islington
• Hackney
• Camden

At April 2006, there were around 493 known asylum seekers in the Borough supported by Haringey Council and by the National Asylum Support Service (NASS). However, in addition to this number there are placements by other local authorities in Haringey, and those refused asylum that have not left and those here illegally. There are also a large number of people granted refugee status and/or those with extended leave to remain. Their precise figure is unknown.

In 2001 the GLA estimated there to be between 352,000 and 422,000 refugee and asylum seekers in London. Results from the 2001 Census provide evidence that around 35,000 people living in Haringey were born in countries and world regions that have historically provided refugee and asylum seekers.
