This dataset provides 2011 Census estimates that classify usual residents in households in England and Wales by ethnic group and by accommodation type. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

These statistics are used to enable organisations to monitor equal opportunities and anti-discrimination policies including the statutory requirements of the Race Relations Act, and by central and local government to inform resource allocation.
Statistical Disclosure Control
In order to protect against disclosure of personal information from the 2011 Census, there has been swapping of records in the Census database between different geographic areas, and so some counts will be affected. In the main, the greatest effects will be at the lowest geographies, since the record swapping is targeted towards those households with unusual characteristics in small areas.

More details on the ONS Census disclosure control strategy may be found on the Statistical Disclosure Control page on the ONS web site.
