then

again from 2010 to 2015 (by 33,000), with a more gentle growth of around 7,000 in between.

Elsewhere

, the figure of people relocating for work began at 61,000 in 2000,

then

peaked at 92,000 in 2010 - the highest of any reason, in any year - before finishing as the joint-highest in 2015 (87,000 - on a level with those relocating in order to study). Notably,

this

category was the only one of the four that underwent a downturn. Turning to 'adventure',

this

category rose the most stably and steadily of all four categories, from 11,000 to 15,000 over the fifteen-year period. Meanwhile, the number of people relocating for 'family and friends' reasons climbed gently in the first five years (12,000 to 14,000), followed by an upswing to 22,000, before eventually levelling off at around 23,000 in 2015.
