2011 Census results

[TightEnd]

Demographics stat geekery of the highest order


The number of foreign-born residents in England and Wales has risen by nearly three million since 2001 to 7.5 million people, the 2011 census shows.

The most common birthplaces outside of the UK for residents are India, Poland and Pakistan. The number of ethnic white British has dropped by 7%.

A total of 13% of usual residents were born outside the UK.

London had both the largest proportion of usual residents born outside the UK (37%) and non-UK nationals (24%.)

In total, the number of people living in England and Wales is up 7% to 56.1 million since 2001 - over half the rise due to migration.

Those who stated that their religion was Christian in 2011 fell 13 percentage points to 59% (33.2 million) in 2011 from 72% (37.3 million) in 2001.

The number of those who said they had no religious affiliation increased by 10 percentage points from 15% (7.7 million) in 2001 to 25% (14.1 million) in 2011.

The 2011 census shows beyond any doubt that the UK is now in the midst of an astonishing era of demographic change due to globalisation.

In other findings:

    Muslims now make up 4.8% of the population of England and Wales
    The white British population has fallen 400,000 since 2001, now 80% down from 87%
    45% of Londoners are white British, down from 58% in 2001
    4.8 million people hold a foreign passport: 2.3 million from the EU and 2.4 million from outside the EU
    42% of people in Norwich and Brighton say they have no religion, the highest level in England and Wales
    2 million households with at least two people had partners or household members of different ethnic groups in 2011, a three percentage point increase on 2001 (1.4 million)

One analyst says:

"The 2011 census shows beyond any doubt that the UK is now in the midst of an astonishing era of demographic change due to globalisation.

Parts of the country are witnessing such rapid flows and movements of people that they are becoming super-diverse - home to many different people from many different backgrounds."

Love the census stats.  Had a book that Bristol University had compiled from the 1991 census data to show the Top and bottom 40 towns on a variety of measures.

I remember that Corby and Stoke were always in the top 5 (or bottom 5) along with Tower Hamlets and a few other London boroughs on the lists, suggesting they weren't the most attractive places to live for many.
