    Area covered
    Wales, England
    Description

    This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 years and over in employment the week before the census in England and Wales by industry and by ethnic group. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

    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

    Industry (current)

    Classifies people aged 16 years and over who were in employment between 15 March and 21 March 2021 by the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code that represents their current industry or business.

    The SIC code is assigned based on the information provided about a firm or organisation’s main activity.

    Ethnic group

    The ethnic group that the person completing the census feels they belong to. This could be based on their culture, family background, identity or physical appearance.

    Respondents could choose one out of 19 tick-box response categories, including write-in response options.

    Description

    This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify Household Reference Persons in England and Wales by household composition and by ethnic group. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

    Data about household relationships might not always look consistent with legal partnership status. This is because of complexity of living arrangements and the way people interpreted these questions. Take care when using these two variables together. Read more about this quality notice.

    Households according to the relationships between members.

    One-family households are classified by:

    • the number of dependent children
    • family type (married, civil partnership or cohabiting couple family, or lone parent family)

    Other households are classified by:

    • the number of people
    • the number of dependent children
    • whether the household consists only of students or only of people aged 66 and over

    Ethnic group

    The ethnic group that the person completing the census feels they belong to. This could be based on their culture, family background, identity or physical appearance.

    Respondents could choose one out of 19 tick-box response categories, including write-in response options.

    Description

    The London Borough Profiles help paint a general picture of an area by presenting a range of headline indicator data in both spreadsheet and map form to help show statistics covering demographic, economic, social and environmental datasets for each borough, alongside relevant comparator areas. The London Borough Atlas does the same but provides further detailed breakdowns and time-series data for each borough. The full datasets and more information for each of the indicators are usually available on the London Datastore. A link to each of the datasets is contained in the spreadsheet and map.

    London Borough Profiles

    On opening the Microsoft Excel version, a simple drop down box allows you to choose which borough profile you are interested in. Selecting this will display data for that borough, plus either Inner or Outer London, London and a national comparator (usually England where data is available). To see the full set of data for all 33 local authorities in London plus the comparator areas in Excel, click the 'Data' worksheet. A chart and a map are also available to help visualise the data for all boroughs (macros must be enabled for the Excel map to function). The data is set out across 11 themes covering most of the key indicators relating to demographic, economic, social and environmental data. Sources are provided in the spreadsheet. Notes about the indicator are provided in comment boxes attached to the indicator names. For a geographical and bar chart representation of the profile data, choose the InstantAtlas version. Choose indicators from the left hand side. Click on the comparators to make them appear on the chart and map. Sources, links to data, and notes are all contained in the box in the bottom right hand corner.

    Description

    This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 5 years and over in England and Wales by ethnic group, by provision of unpaid care, and by general health. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

    The ONS did not ask people aged under five years whether they provided unpaid care, so this variable counts usual residents aged five years and over. Read more about this quality notice.

    An unpaid carer may look after, give help or support to anyone who has long-term physical or mental ill-health conditions, illness or problems related to old age.

    This does not include any activities as part of paid employment.

    This help can be within or outside of the carer's household.

    Description

    REACH is an accelerated cohort study of adolescent mental health in two inner city London boroughs, Lambeth and Southwark. The study aims to investigate the impact of social, psychological, and biological risk and protective factors on the occurrence and persistence of mental health problems over time in large, ethnically diverse cohorts of adolescents.

    REACH has recruited three cohorts—age 11–12 (cohort 1; school year 7), 12–13 (cohort 2; year 8) and 13–14 (cohort 3; year 9) from 12 mainstream secondary schools in the two boroughs. These boroughs are among the most densely-populated, socioeconomically and ethnically diverse areas in England,13–15 and have high rates of adult mental health problems. To investigate novel questions on the developmental origins of mental health problems in adolescents, extensive data is collected at each time point. Participants provide detailed information, each year, about their mental health, social circumstances, and experiences via questionnaires. A subset (approx. 20%) of participants also complete face-to-face interviews and cognitive assessments.

    Description

    This table shows whether people aged 16 or over have ever used or never used the internet by a range of variables such as age, ethnicity, pay, occupation, qualifications, and disability.

    The question asked in the Labour Force Survey is "When did you last use the internet?" This question is only asked to people aged 16 and over. The first time this data was available was 2011 Q1.

    At borough level the data showed ever used or never used. For London and Rest of UK the data is broken down by a range of indicators, including age, ethnic group, weekly pay, occupation levels, qualification levels, and economic activity.

    The APS sampled around 333,000 people in the UK (around 27,000 in London). As such all figures must be treated with some caution.

    Data was supplied directly by ONS under request from the Greater London Authority. Numbers rounded to the nearest thousand.

    Other Internet Access data can be found on the ONS website. This is national data based on the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey.

    Description

    This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify Household Reference Persons in England and Wales by whether one or multiple languages are spoken, and by ethnic group. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

    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

    Multiple main languages in household

    Classifies households by whether members speak the same or different main language. If multiple main languages are spoken, this identifies whether they differ between generations or partnerships within the household.

    Ethnic group

    The ethnic group that the person completing the census feels they belong to. This could be based on their culture, family background, identity or physical appearance.

    Respondents could choose one out of 19 tick-box response categories, including write-in response options.

    Unequal impact of COVID-19: BAME disproportionality This presentation includes some national data on health experiences of the BAME population, 2011 Census data on the ethnic make-up of Camden residents and ONS data on mortality rate by ethnicity as a result of Covid-19. It then deep dives into what our VCS organisations have heard first hand from our Black, Asian and other non-white ethnicity communities.

    This helps us to understand how the government measures have exacerbated the effects of COVID-19, and how they will continue to disproportionately affect people. (Data collated through conversations with our VCS partners).
