There were 13,924 people aged 100 or older in 2021, the Office for National Statistics said.
The ONS said there were eight local authorities with fewer than 10 centenarians per 100,000 people.
Men who had reached the age of 100 or older were more likely to be non-disabled than women and were also more likely to report having good or very good health, the ONS added. “Older workers continue to be undervalued and overlooked, the vast majority of our housing does not meet the needs of the people that live in them as they age, ageism is a widespread poison within our society that is not taken seriously enough.
