This information is not held. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.

Statistics Jersey produces estimates of the population on an annual basis which are available on www.gov.je in the following link:

The most recently produced estimate was for year-end 2019. Due to the running of the 2021 census an estimate has not been produced for 2020. Up to date population figures will next be published by Statistics Jersey as part of the upcoming census reports in the first quarter of 2022.
