Migration and Changing Communities
What do you already know about migration in Lincolnshire?
Migration in Lincolnshire is largely driven by international, eastern European, and seasonal workers settling in areas like Boston, Lincoln, and South Holland to work in agriculture, food production, and care sectors.
The county is a key hub for foreign-born residents, with Lincoln having nearly one-third of its population as non-UK born, alongside significant resettlement programs.
