According to the 2021 Census, 81.7% of the population of England and Wales was white, 9.3% Asian, 4.0% black, 2.9% mixed and 2.1% from other ethnic groups.

In 2011, 87.2 percent of the total population of the United Kingdom were white British. A positive net migration in recent years combined with the resultant international relationships following the wide-reaching former British Empire has contributed to an increasingly diverse population. Varied ethnic backgrounds Black British citizens, with African and/or African-Caribbean ancestry, are the largest ethnic minority population, at three percent of the total population. Indian Britons are one of the largest overseas communities of the Indian diaspora and make up 2.3 percent of the total UK population. Pakistani British citizens, who make up almost two percent of the UK population, have one of the highest levels of home ownership in Britain. Racism in the United Kingdom Though it has decreased in comparison to the previous century, the UK has seen an increase in racial prejudice during the first decade and a half of this century. Racism and discrimination continues to be part of daily life for Britain’s ethnic minorities, especially in terms of work, housing, and health issues. Moreover, the number of hate crimes motivated by race reported since 2012 has increased, and in 2017/18, there were 3,368 recorded offenses of racially or religiously aggravated assault with injury, almost a thousand more than in 2013/14.

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classifies the 19 tick-box ethnic groups, by age, sex, and age and sex.

There are 3 datasets within this publication showing key aspects of Ethnic Minority Populations in Lincolnshire: Ethnic Groups, Proficiency in English, and Religion. The datasets show 2021 Census estimates of the total resident population with breakouts for these three population categories.

These Census 2021 datasets are sourced from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Nomis website - see the Source link below. Data is shown for Lincolnshire and Districts, and for 2021 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA). Different geographies and more detailed breakouts of these and other useful datasets, are available at the Source link.

The data is updated every 10 years with the next update due from the Census 2031.

This study was the fourth in a series of national surveys of ethnic minorities. The main objectives were:

• to describe the social and economic conditions of Britain's main ethnic minority groups, including their health, and to compare these with the social and economic conditions of the white majority
• to assess changes over time through comparisons with other work
• to show how the position of ethnic minority groups is related to the social and ethnic compositions of the areas in which they live
• to explore diversity among different ethnic minority groups
• to describe perceptions and experience of racial discrimination and social harassment

A socio-demographic study exploring the UK publishing industry revealed that *** percent of the publishing workforce in 2020 were Asian or Asian British, and ***** percent were Black or Black British. Whilst representation of ethnic minorities in publishing has very marginally increased since 2018, white people still make up the vast majority of employees in the industry.

Report from the North Yorkshire Equality and Diversity Strategic Partnership - September 2016

In the UK, for the first time, the number of doctors of ethnic minorities surpassed the number of white doctors in 2023. The largest increase was seen among Asian or Asian British ethnicity group. This was due, in part, to the large influx of international medical graduates since 2018, when the cap limit of ****** doctors per year from outside the UK or EU/EEA was removed.

In 2025, approximately *** percent of police officers in England and Wales were from ethnic minority backgrounds, compared with *** percent in 2024, and just *** percent in 2005.

During a 2023 survey carried out among more than ***** marketers from the United Kingdom, ** percent of respondents identified as white. Second largest group with *** percent were marketers who identified as Asian or Asian British, followed by *** percent of individuals who identified as Black, African Caribbean or Black British. The remaining *** percent identified as mixed raced or belonging to multiple ethnic groups.

The Evidence for Equality National Survey (EVENS) is a national survey that documents the experiences and attitudes of ethnic and religious minorities in Britain. EVENS was developed by the Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE) in response to the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 and is the largest and most comprehensive survey of the lives of ethnic and religious minorities in Britain for more than 25 years. EVENS used pioneering, robust survey methods to collect data in 2021 from 14,200 participants of whom 9,700 identify as from an ethnic or religious minority. The EVENS main dataset, which is available from the UK Data Service under SN 9116, covers a large number of topics including racism and discrimination, education, employment, housing and community, health, ethnic and religious identity, and social and political participation.

The EVENS Teaching Dataset provides a selection of variables in an accessible form to support the use of EVENS in teaching across a range of subjects and levels of study. The dataset includes demographic data and variables to support the analysis of:

• racism and belonging
• health and well-being during COVID-19
• political attitudes and trust.

Racism, belonging, impact of COVID-19, health, well-being, financial position, political attitudes and trust.

Data on a distribution of police officers from ethnic minorities in England and Wales (UK) as of March 2020, by ethnic group shows that Asian and Asian British police officers formed the biggest part, making **** percent overall, while Black and Black British groups made up **** percent of the police workforce.

BackgroundA significantly higher proportion of UK Black ethnic adults live with overweight or obesity, compared to their White British counterparts. The role of obesity in excess infection rates and mortality from COVID-19 has increased the need to understand if weight management interventions are appropriate and effective for Black ethnic groups. There is a paucity of existing research on weight management services in Black populations, and whether anticipated or experienced institutional and interpersonal racism in the healthcare and more widely affects engagement in these services. Understanding the lived experience of target populations and views of service providers delivering programmes is essential for timely service improvement.MethodsA qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted in June–October 2021 among 18 Black African and Black Caribbean men and women interested in losing weight and 10 weight management service providers.ResultsThe results highlighted a positive view of life in the United Kingdom (UK), whether born in the UK or born abroad, but one which was marred by racism. Weight gain was attributed by participants to unhealthy behaviours and the environment, with improving appearance and preventing ill health key motivators for weight loss. Participants relied on self-help to address their overweight, with the role of primary care in weight management contested as a source of support. Anticipated or previously experienced racism in the health care system and more widely, accounted for some of the lack of engagement with services. Participants and service providers agreed on the lack of relevance of existing services to Black populations, including limited culturally tailored resources. Community based, ethnically matched, and flexibly delivered weight management services were suggested as ideal, and could form the basis of a set of recommendations for research and practice.ConclusionCultural tailoring of existing services and new programmes, and cultural competency training are needed. These actions are required within systemic changes, such as interventions to address discrimination. Our qualitative insights form the basis for advancing further work and research to improve existing services to address the weight-related inequality faced by UK Black ethnic groups.

There are clear patterns of under- and over-representation of ethnic minority groups in the youth justice system. Black and mixed race teenagers are over-represented, relative to their representation in the overall population. Other minority groups are not generally over-represented and some are under-represented.

This study examined whether teenagers from ethnic minorities are treated differently to white teenagers by the youth justice system. It investigated how young people are drawn into the youth justice system, and traced whether disproportionality at the point of entry was preserved, amplified or reduced as they passed through the system.

The data available from the UK Data Archive comprise a database of young offenders. Data were collected from the Youth Offending Information System (YOIS), an electronic system used by most YOTs in the country to case-manage and report on young offenders. A purposive sample of 12 YOTs was used to yield relatively high proportions of offenders from the larger ethnic minority groups. YOIS data on all offenders who had committed an offence in 2006 and their disposals recorded up to December 2007 have been extracted.
