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.

Figure 1: Ethnic group by gender

For males, these figures range from 64.2% for Black/African/Carib

bean/Black British, to 48.7% for White. The female population is below 51% in all groups apart from White (51.2%), with only 36.13% of Other Ethnic Groups and 35.8% of the

Black/African/ Caribbean/Black

British classified as

female.

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 0-15 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

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.

3 ONS Census 2011 Detailed Statistics DC2201EW Ethnic group by religion


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.


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 0-44year 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 0-24 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).

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-to-day 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


11

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.

7.3 Economic Inactivity

For those stating that they were economically inactive and retired, 27% of residents in Northumberland classed themselves in this category. This figure ranged from high figures of 30.8% for Irish followed by White (27.3%), down to 11.8% of Caribbean and 11.9% of Indian. Only 2% of White and Black African fell into this category. Looking at figures by gender, it can be seen that 33.6% of Caribbean males and 42% of Other Black Males are economically inactive, whereas the percentage figures for Economically inactive females is highest in the Bangladeshi community (26.3%) and Gypsy/Irish traveller(25.5%).

7.4 Economic Inactivity – looking after family and home

3.2% of all residents aged 16 and over were classed as economically inactive and looking after family and home. This shows a slight increase to the 2001 Census figure of 2.88%. 14.8% of Bangladeshis in Northumberland over the age of 16 were economically inactive and looking after a home and family (a slight increase from the 2001 Census when the figure was 14.3%) but only 1.6% of Arabs fell into this category.

In all ethnic groups, there was a much higher proportion of women who were economically inactive because they were looking after the home or family. For all Northumberland females the percentage was 2.9%, but this varied between ethnic groups from 14.3% Bangladeshi and 9.8% of Gypsy/Irish travellers to 1.65% of Arab women.

Figure 4 Ethnic group by economic activity

7.5 Economic Inactivity – Retirees

Retirement rates are highest amongst the White British, White Irish and Other White ethnic groups in Northumberland. All other ethnic groups have far lower percentage figures for both male and female retirees. This follows the same trend as percentage figures produced in the 2001 Census.

7.6 Economic activity and religion

Overall there were 60.7% of Northumberland residents who were economically active. This figure varied between religious groups, with the highest being Sikhs (73.5%) and Hindus (71.5%). Of those residents aged 16 and over actually in employment, this figure again varied by religion. The Northumberland figure of 56.4% was lower than that for Sikh (70.2%), Hindu (69.3%) and Muslim (61.8%).

For those classing themselves as economically active and unemployed, percentage figures ranged from 9.2% (Other religion), 6.7% (Muslim), and 6.45 Buddhist, down to 2.2% for Hindu.

O the 102,900 residents who are economically inactive in the county, 27% of these are retired. Again this percentage figure varied depending on religion from a high of 30.9% -Jewish, and 32%- Christian, down to 3.9% of Muslims.

8 Ethnic Groups by Social Economic Classification (NS-SeC) There were 258,600 residents aged 16 and over in Northumberland as at the 2011 Census.


13

For all residents of Northumberland who provided their NS-SeC5, 29% stated that they were in routine or semi-routine occupations. The ethnic group with the highest percentage of residents in this class was Black/African/Caribbean/Black British: Other Black with 42%, and the lowest was Pakistani with 10.4%.

8.9% of all residents aged 16 and over classed themselves as in higher managerial, administrative, and professional occupations. This ranged from 29% of Arabs and 21% of Asians to only 3% of Bangladeshi and less than 1% Gypsy – Irish traveller.

The Bangladeshi community also had the highest percentage classing themselves as full time Students (18.2%), followed by White and Asian (14.8%), which were much higher than the overall Northumberland figure of 5%. The lowest percentage figure was 0% for Black/African/Caribbean/Black British: Other Black

Over 20% of workers in the Pakistani, Indian, Gypsy and Irish Traveller and Chinese ethnic groups are small employers or own account workers with only 2.37% of Africans falling into this category. (Northumberland 9.6%). The figure of 26% for the Pakistani community has fallen since the last Census when the figure was 48%.

Those in the Bangladeshi ethnic group are most likely to have never worked or be unemployed

9 Passports held Over 78% of residents in Northumberland hold a UK passport, compared to 76% in both the North East and England. 20.5% have no passport at all and only 1% of residents hold passports from countries outside the UK.

99.1% of residents (aged 3 and over) in the county class English as their main language, with only 0.2% who feel they cannot speak English well or at all. For those residents born in the UK the percentage figures are very similar.

For those born outside the UK (8,873), only 69.2% stated that their main language was English, and 6.2% (550) could not speak English well or at all. This percentage figure varied depending on the age at which they arrived in the UK.

National identity6 is a measure of self-identity reflecting the subjective nature of national identity, where the question allows a person to express a preference as to which country or countries, nation or nations that they feel most affiliated to. 95.32% of all residents see themselves as English, British or English/British. 73.9% of the Other White ethnic group felt their national identity was Other Identity – this is anything which doesn’t include any combination of UK identities. At the lower end of the scale only 37.8% of Africans feel affiliated to the English and or British national identity, whereas 95.3% of White and Black Caribbean feel this affiliation. Looking at the age breakdown of Northumberland residents by their national identity, it can be seen that a higher percentage of those aged between 15 – 19 and 30 -34, class themselves as having a national identity which is not English and/or British.

Note:

As there are many cross tabulated tables included in the Detailed Characteristics release by ONS, which provide data covering the ethnic breakdown and religion of the residents of Northumberland, further statistics can be provided on request.
