  • In 2021, 81.7% (48.7 million) of usual residents in England and Wales identified their ethnic group within the high-level "White" category, a decrease from 86.0% (48.2 million) in the 2011 Census.
  • As part of the "White" ethnic group, 74.4% (44.4 million) of the total population in England and Wales identified their ethnic group as "English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish or British", this is a continued decrease from 80.5% (45.1 million) in 2011, and from 87.5% (45.5 million) who identified this way in 2001.
  • The next most common high-level ethnic group was "Asian, Asian British or Asian Welsh" accounting for 9.3% (5.5 million) of the overall population, this ethnic group also saw the largest percentage point increase from 2011, up from 7.5% (4.2 million people).
  • Across the 19 ethnic groups, the largest percentage point increase was seen in the number of people identifying through the "White: Other White" category (6.2%, 3.7 million in 2021, up from 4.4%, 2.5 million in 2011), this response option allows people to specify their ethnic group through writing it in; the increase may be partly explained by the new search-as-you-type functionality introduced for Census 2021, making it easier for people to self-define when completing the census online.
  • Large changes were also seen in the numbers of people identifying their ethnic group as "Other ethnic group: Any other ethnic group" (1.6%, 924,000 in 2021, up from 0.6%, 333,000 in 2011), and "Black, Black British, Black Welsh, Caribbean or African: African" (2.5%, 1.5 million in 2021, up from 1.8%, 990,000); both ethnic groups had the option to write in their response.
  • In England and Wales, 10.1% (2.5 million) of households consisted of members identifying with two or more different ethnic groups, an increase from 8.7% (2.0 million) in 2011.

2.Ethnic groups in England and Wales​

The ethnic group question's two stages​

Since 1991, the census for England and Wales has included a question about ethnic group.
The ethnic group question has two stages. Firstly, a person identifies through one of the following five high-level ethnic groups:
  • "Asian, Asian British, Asian Welsh"
  • "Black, Black British, Black Welsh, Caribbean or African"
  • "Mixed or Multiple"
  • "White"
  • "Other ethnic group"
Secondly, a person identifies through one of the 19 available response options, which include categories with write-in response options. For more information on question structure, see Section 9: Measuring the data.

Among developed countries, the UK and the USA are the biggest shitholes for regular people. Conservative savage capitalist give away to the rich doesn't work.... Of course the UK is worlds ahead of us, the richest country in the world that is the only developed country not to have a living wage healthcare daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations ID card to end illegal immigration, and mainly taxing the rich for God's sake. USA healthcare costs about 17.5% of GDP and doesn't even cover people thanks to the GOP, meanwhile the UK costs about 8 percent of GDP and everything that is wrong with it is because of doing it on the cheap thanks to the conservatives or Tories, the second worst party in the modern world, however world's behind the scumbag giveaway to the rich total BS on policy GOP.

Except in red states, but especially because you have a lot of money.... Yes we have too many MRI machines and other really expensive stuff plus no transparency and of course Republicans trying to do away with the paltry health system we do have period we don't have a mental health system worth crap either.
