This bulletin, 2011 Census Key Statistics for England and Wales examines the defining characteristics of the population, who we are, how we live and what we do. The 2001 Census statistics covered are unique because the census is the only information source that measures these characteristics together across the whole population.

This short story presents a picture of Ethnicity and National Identity in England and Wales in 2011, with an overview of key findings at regional and local authority level. Where Ethnicity is comparable, key changes since the 2001 Census are explored. The story is also accompanied by an interactive map.

This article examines the characteristics of foreign-born people living in the UK, how they differ between regions and countries, and from people that were born in the UK. Demographic, social and economic characteristics are examined using data from the Annual Population Survey, 2009 (APS). The article comprises two sections. The first section explores each characteristic individually, looking at how the foreign-born population differs to UK-born population, comparing across regions. The second presents a profile for each of the English regions, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

A guide to comparing 1991 and 2001 Census ethnic group data

2005 Edition

The Offi ce for National Statistics (ONS) Longitudinal Study (LS) is an exceptional resource for exploring dynamic processes in individuals’ lives for a representative sample of the population of England and Wales and across a thirty year period, including how those processes vary by ethnic group. However, analyses tend to assume a certain stability in the meaning of the ethnic group being studied: the insights into ethnic group differentiation are premised on the fact that the group has the same meaning over time. Here we show how the LS allows us to challenge such notions of group stability. This has practical implications for the ways we measure and conceive of Britain’s minority ethnic groups. We illustrate this point with two examples: one exploring the change in ethnic group identifi cation by the same individuals between 1991 and 2001, and the second exploring how loss to follow up is differentially experienced according to ethnic group.1 We provide some suggestions on the implications of this ethnic group instability for other research.
