Dd101 Tma 03

Part one:
In this part of the TMA, we are asked to describe and summarise the data provided within a table from the consensus from 2001 and 2011(Office of natural statistics). The tables provided shows the population of citizens within the United Kingdom.
Table 1:
Looking at the collected data from 2001 and 2011 we can see that the single majority increase, is within the 'Other White' with a large increase of 1.8%.(2.6% in 2001 and 4.4% in 2011). Whereas the largest ethnic group increase is the 'Asian/Asian British' this has increased from 4.9% to 7.5%, with a total increase of 2.6%.   Overall every population has increased bar the 'Caribbean'   ethnic group which has stayed the same.

From this we can see that Wales has the lowest amount of non white ethnic groups.
The 'other ethnic groups' are the lowest percentage of the population with the lowest in the South West at 0.3%.
