Ethnicity and Religion Statistics for Northumberland – Update June 2013

Update to report of March 2013
In March 2013, a report providing statistics on Ethnicity and Religion in Northumberland was published
by the Policy and Research Team. The majority of information was derived from Key Statistics tables
and Quick Statistics tables from the 2011 Census. In May 2013, further data was released - the Detailed
Characteristics series of statistics. These provide cross tabulations covering two or more topics. The
combination of topics and number of categories provide the most detail possible whilst maintaining the
confidentiality of personal information.
Included in this new release, were additional data sets which give further information on the ethnicity
and religious breakdown of the residents of Northumberland. A composite table of these results can be
found in Appendix 3 at the end of this document.
When looking at percentage figures, it should be noted that the population of Northumberland is made
up of 98.5% of residents who are classed as White and only 1.5% (approximately 5,000) who class
themselves as being part of another ethnic group.
1 Ethnic group by Gender
Detailed Characteristics tables provide a breakdown on ethnicity by gender. The gender breakdown of
all residents within Northumberland is 48.77% male and 51.23% female, which are similar figures to
those provided by the 2001 Census.

2 Ethnic group by age
The breakdown of the residents of Northumberland by ethnicity and age shows a broad range of
percentage figures for each of the age categories, depending on the ethnic group. It should be noted
that the numbers for some of these groups are very small which could then provide abnormally high or
low percentage figures.

The highest percentage figures for residents aged 0-15 occurs in the White and Black African group with
56.5%, followed by a figure of 50.2% for White and Asian whose population falls into this age bracket
(Northumberland – 17%). Lowest percentage figures can be seen for Caribbean (3.5%) and Irish (6.5%).
Looking at residents aged between 16 and 59 (Northumberland 55.2%), Caribbean have the highest
percentage figure (85.1%) followed by Africans (83.4%) and Other Black (80.6%). The lowest percentage
figures for this age group occur in the White and Black African (41.7%) and White and Asian (42.9%).

2.8% (8,925) of all Northumberland residents were born outside the UK. Of these, 44.5% were aged 015 on arrival in the UK, 22.9% were aged 16-24, 20.3% aged 25-34, 9.3% aged 35-49 and 2.9% aged 50
and over.
Over 50% of the residents in the following ethnic groups were born outside the UK :- Irish; Other White;
Indian; Bangladeshi; Chinese; Other Asian; African; Caribbean; Arab; Any other Ethnic Group.
This included 85.3% of residents from the White: Other White ethnic group (2,543). Of these 61.4%
were aged 16-34 on arrival in the UK, and only 5.3% were aged 50 and over.
There were 3,582 residents born outside the UK who classed themselves as White: English/Welsh/
Scottish/Northern Irish/British, and of these, 76.6% were aged 0-15 on arrival in the UK, suggesting that

children have been born abroad to White: English/Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish/British parents who
have then moved back to the UK
71% (98) of Black/African/Caribbean/Black British and 62.1% (1,007) of Asian/Asian British residents
living in Northumberland were born outside the UK.
4 Country of birth and age
Looking at the age of the population of Northumberland by their country of birth2, it can be seen that
97% of the total population was born in the UK (see Appendix 1). This figure ranged slightly from 94.9%
of those aged 25 to 34, to 98.4% of those aged 0 to 15. For those residents who were not born in the UK,
the figures are far smaller. For all ages the highest percentage figure for those born outside the UK was
for those born in an EU country (1%). 5.1% of the population aged 16 to 49 were born in an EU country
other than UK, with 2.5% of these falling in the 25-34 age cohort. The figure for those aged 85 and over
who were born in a country other than UK was 1.3%
0.7% of Northumberland residents were born in the Middle East and Asia, and this figure varied by age
group with 1.2% of those aged 35-49 and 0.35 of those aged 0-15

For all ethnic groups in Northumberland, 68.6% classed themselves as Christian. This percentage figure
ranged from 70.1% (237=n) for Black/African/Caribbean/Black British, to 24.8% (659=n) for those who
classed themselves as Asian/Asian British. For the White ethnic group, this figure was 69%.
Of the 1,692 residents of Mixed/Multiple Ethnic groups, 47.6% classed themselves as Christian,
followed by 35.9% who had no religion, and 7.9% whose religion was Not Stated.

Figure 2 Ethnic group by religion
Of the 2658 Asian/Asian British population, the figure for those classing themselves as Christian was
similar to the figure for Muslim (24.8% Christian and 24.9% Muslim). 15.8% of this ethnic group classed
themselves as Sikh, with 11.5% Hindu, and only 12.1% stated they had No Religion.
Of the 338 Black/African/Caribbean/Black British population, 9.8% classed themselves as Muslim, and
12.1% had No Religion.
Further breakdown by ethnic group by both age and religion shows a very diverse picture. This is clearly
shown in Appendix 2 which classifies the breakdown by age, ethnic group and religion, and this is
mapped against the age breakdown for all Northumberland residents,

Christian – age breakdown for those classifying themselves as Christian, mirrors the age
breakdown of Northumberland as a whole.
Ethnicity and Religion Statistics for Northumberland – Update June 2013
8

Muslim – there are a higher proportion of females aged 0 – 44, and males age 0-44 (apart from
15-19 year old males), classing themselves as Muslim, but less in the 45 and over age group.

Jewish – The age breakdown for those classing themselves as Jewish seems to be random and
does not follow any pattern.

Sikh – there are slightly more Sikhs (both male and female) than you would expect in the 044year age bracket.

Hindu – The percentage of residents classing themselves as Hindu in the 0-69 age group is
higher than the Northumberland average for almost all age groups, but much lower for those
aged 70 and over.

Buddhist – Of the 578 Buddhist residents, there is a higher percentage of that group for those
aged 25-64 (both male and female) than the Northumberland average, and a lot less for the 024 and 65+ groups.

Other religion – there are 377 residents who state that they have a religion other than those
stated. The age breakdown of this group follows the Northumberland trend.

No religion – there are a higher percentage of younger people and a lower percentage of older
residents who stated that they have No Religion compared to the Northumberland average

Religion not stated- the age breakdown for those residents who did not state their religion
followed the Northumberland trend
6 Health and Disability
6.1 Perception of health
The 2011 Census included questions on a resident’s perception of their health and categorisation of
disability. For all residents, 43.8% classed themselves as in very good health with a further 34.3% in
Good Health. Only 6.3% classed themselves as in Bad or Very Bad Health. These statistics were broken
down further by ethnic group and it can be seen that there is a wide variation in figures. 12.9% of
Black/African/Caribbean/Black British: Other Black classed themselves as being in Bad or Very Bad
health, whereas only 1.3% of White and Black African put themselves in this category. White and Black
African had the highest percentage figure (93.5%) of their group who felt they were in Good or Very
Good Health, followed by Asian/Asian British: Other Asian with a figure of 92.1% and White and Asian
with a figure of 92%. This reflects the low number of older people in these groups.
6.2 Day-to day activity limitations
Looking at the results for the question in the 2011 Census regarding long term health problems and
disability, 79.3% of all residents felt their day-to-day activities were not limited, whereas the other
20.7% felt their day-to-day activities were limited (9.8% limited a lot, 10.9% limited a little).
Ethnicity and Religion Statistics for Northumberland – Update June 2013

Figure 3 Limitations on day-to-day activities by ethnic group
Over 90% of Asian/Asian British and Black/African/Caribbean/Black British residents felt their day-today activities were not limited. Looking at those who thought their day-to-day activities were limited a
lot, percentage figures for the White ethnic group (9.9%) were far higher than all other ethnic groups.
The lowest figure in this category was 3.3% for Asian/Asian British residents.
6.3 Unpaid care
Statistics that classify usual residents, who provide unpaid care4 by the number of hours of care
provided, is also available from the 2011 Census.
11.3% of the population of Northumberland (35,697) provided some form of unpaid care, and
of these, 2.8% provided care for 50 or more hours a week. The highest percentage figure
occurred in the Caribbean population where 17.5% of residents provided unpaid care, although
this is an actual figure of only 20 persons, with the lowest being White and Black African (4.3%).
7 Economic activity
As at 27th March 2011, 60.49% of all residents aged 16 and over classed themselves as economically
active, although this figure varied depending on ethnic group, with the lowest percentage figure found
for Gypsy or Irish Traveller (50%) to the highest for Other Asian (78.8%).
These figures also vary depending on gender. For all persons aged 16 and over, classed as economically
active, 52% are male and 48% female. These figures ranged from 78% male and 22% female for those in
the Bangladeshi community, to 41% male and 59% female for Other Asians.
7.1 Economic Activity – in Employment
For those economically active and in employment, the overall Northumberland figure was 56.3%. Again
this varies depending on ethnic group, but the lowest percentage figure is again Gypsy and Irish
4
Provision of unpaid care - A person is a provider of unpaid care if they look after or give help or support to family
members, friends, neighbours or others because of long-term physical or mental ill health or disability, or
problems related to old age. This does not include any activities as part of paid employment
Ethnicity and Religion Statistics for Northumberland – Update June 2013

Traveller (42.16% (of a total number of 102), followed by 46.15% for Other Black (out of 26 residents),
and 49.09% for Caribbean (from total residents 110).
The highest percentage figures for those economically active and in employment, occurs for Other Asian
group (73.1% n=491 residents), and White and Black African (73% n=100 residents).
For those classed as economically active, in employment and self-employed, the percentage figure for
Northumberland is 8.5%, although Indian (23.4%), Pakistani (24.8%) and any Other Ethnic Group
(20.2%) are all far higher than the Northumberland total. African (3.55%), Multiple Mixed/other Mixed
(4.32%) and White and Black Caribbean (5.64%) are far lower than the Northumberland total.
1.53% of the population of Northumberland aged 16 and over, classes themselves as full time students.
Again this varies according to ethnic group, with no-one from the Gypsy and Irish Traveller, or Other
Black community classing themselves in this category. Less than 1% of Caribbean, Irish, and Other
White state that they are full time students. By far, the highest percentage figures occur for Bangladeshi
(8.61% of a total 209 residents aged 16 and over), followed by Other Asian (4.48% n=491), Pakistani
(4.26% n=258) and Indian (4.15% n=747).
7.2 Economic Activity – Unemployment
For economically active but unemployed full time students, there were 1044 Northumberland residents
in this category, and the highest percentage figure in the category was for Bangladeshi group where
2.39% of those aged 16 and over fell into this type.

White (27.3%), down to 11.8% of Caribbean and 11.9% of Indian. Only 2% of White and Black African
