This data uses the 'single response' ethnic group. People who have indicated more than one ethnicity are grouped under a 'Multiple ethnicities' category, as opposed to the groups they identify with.
For 2021, the counts have been randomly rounded to base 3. For this reason counts may appear not to add.
