Unlike most metropolitan authorities, Wolverhampton did not increase its population in the major 1974 reorganisation of local government (which included the creation of Metropolitan Counties), as it already met the target population size of 250,000 people.
In fact, were the 19th Century boundaries in effect today, Wolverhampton would have a similar population to that of Manchester.
In addition, there was much immigration from Wales and Ireland into the city during the 19th century, a process that has continued from them, and continues today, with immigrants from the Carribean, South Asia, Africa and eastern Europe and their descendants forming a valuable part of the city's life.
