Ethnicity Cheshire East Summary

Ethnicity is not a single measure, but a composite measure of many different factors that make up an individual or community. Ethnicity is not a fixed and is transient state making measuring it difficult. The most reliable estimates for ethnicity within Cheshire East are the 2011 census figures, although other experimental estimates are available. Under the Equalities Act the council is required to consider ethnicity through the protected characteristic of race. Data is Crown Copyright Office for National Statistics.
