==Demography==
[[File:UK and foreign born population pyramid of Oxford in 2021.svg|thumb|UK and foreign born population pyramid of Oxford in 2021]]As of 2023, Oxford’s population was approximately 165,200.<ref name="OCC July 2024">{{Cite web |last=Council |first=Oxford City |title=Oxford's population statistics |url=https://www.oxford.gov.uk/population-statistics/oxfords-population |access-date=2025-03-01 |website=Oxford City Council |language=en}}</ref> More than a third (35%) of Oxford's residents were born outside of the United Kingdom.<ref name="OCC July 2024" />

Oxford’s population is notably young and diverse. About 30% of residents are ages 18–29, roughly double the national average for that age bracket. This is largely because of the substantial student population: about 35,000 students are enrolled for full-time studies in the city's two universities.<ref name="OCC July 2024" />
