White Ethnicity Insights
Census 2021 reveals that 46% of individuals in N13 5ED identified as 'White' (English/Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish). This compares to the England and Wales average of 81%, who were reported as being of white ethnicity.
This may be due to N13 5ED being an urban centre or a location with a significant history of immigration. These areas are often more ethnically diverse because they have drawn large numbers of migrants over time, creating vibrant, multicultural communities that differ from the more homogeneously 'white' rural or suburban areas.
