Combination of ethnic groups in household and combination of religions in household

Area type

Census 2021 statistics are published for a number of different geographies. These can be large, for example the whole of England, or small, for example an output area (OA), the lowest level of geography for which statistics are produced.

For higher levels of geography, more detailed statistics can be produced. When a lower level of geography is used, such as output areas (which have a minimum of 100 persons), the statistics produced have less detail. This is to protect the confidentiality of people and ensure that individuals or their characteristics cannot be identified.

Lower tier local authorities

Lower tier local authorities provide a range of local services. There are 309 lower tier local authorities in England made up of 181 non-metropolitan districts, 59 unitary authorities, 36 metropolitan districts and 33 London boroughs (including City of London). In Wales there are 22 local authorities made up of 22 unitary authorities.

Coverage

Census 2021 statistics are published for the whole of England and Wales. However, you can choose to filter areas by:

• country - for example, Wales
• region - for example, London
• local authority - for example, Cornwall
• health area – for example, Clinical Commissioning Group
• statistical area - for example, MSOA or LSOA

Combination of ethnic groups in household

Classifies households by whether household members have the same ethnic group or if there are combinations of multiple ethnic groups. These are classified according to the tick-box response options available.

Combination of religions in household

Classifies households by the religious affiliation of household members who chose to answer the religion question, which was voluntary. These combinations identify:

* households with the same stated religious identity (for each of the 8 tick-box response options)

* what combinations of multiple religions exist in the household

* household members who did not answer the question

* households with no religion

* households with different religions

This question was voluntary and the variable includes those who answered the question alongside those who chose not to.
