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.

Coverage

Census 2021 statistics are published for the whole of England and Wales. Data are also available in these geographic types:

• 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

Multiple ethnic groups in household (6 categories)

This systematic mapping protocol forms part of a project being undertaken by a multidisciplinary team from the University of Sheffield, which aims to inform and support the focus on diversity and inclusion in Wellcome Trust’s new strategic plan.

The review aims to “undertake a systematic and critical review of the evidence base for a positive relationship between a diverse and inclusive health research community and the qualities and impacts of the research they undertake”.

This protocol sets out our plan for the review in terms of the literature search and how the retrieved literature will be screened for inclusion in the main review, extracted and then assessed.
