Drift Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 comments will be biblical Less than half of people in London consider themselves white British for first time as census shows number of immigrants leaped by 3MILLION in 10 years7.5million residents were foreign-born in 2011 - up from 4.6million in 2001 Census data reveal just 59% now call themselves Christian as a quarter say they have no religion Less than 90% of country is white for the first time ever By HUGO GYE PUBLISHED: 10:39, 11 December 2012 | UPDATED: 12:18, 11 December 2012 Comments (222) Share White British people are now in a minority in London for the first time, it emerged today as census data revealed that the immigrant population of England and Wales went up by 3million over the past decade. Just 3.7million Londoners described their ethnicity as 'White British' in 2011 - down from 4.3million in 2001, and making up 44.9 per cent of the city's population. It is believed to be the first time that British whites have become a minority in any region of the UK. Another major change to the nation came in the decreasing number of Christians - 4million fewer people claimed to belong to the faith as a quarter of Britons said they had no religion. Foreign-born: This map shows the areas of England and Wales with the most immigrants (shown lighter) and the least (shown darker) In 2011, 7.5million residents were foreign-born, making up 13 per cent of the population - up from 4.6million people in 2001. There were 33.2million people claiming to be Christian, down from 37.3million in 2001 and making up just 59 per cent of the population. 25.1 per cent of people said they had no faith, up from 14.8 per cent a decade earlier, while the proportion of Muslims rose from 3.0 per cent to 4.8 per cent. The third most popular religion was Hinduism, with 1.5 per cent of the population, while 0.8 per cent were Sikhs and 0.5 per cent Jewish. Nearly 180,000 claimed to be followers of the Jedi religion featured in Star Wars - down from 2001, when around 400,000 jokingly put the faith down on their census form. The statistics emerged as the Archbishop of Canterbury claimed that English cathedral congregations had grown dramatically in recent years, debunking the 'cliché' that the Church of England is fading away. Ethnicity: This graphic shows how areas such as Wales, south-west England and the far north are heavily white, while regions like London are more ethnically diverse The data on religion showed considerable national variation - Knowsley, in Lancashire, is the most Christian town in England with 80.9 per cent of residents following the faith, while in London's Tower Hamlets 34.5 per cent of the population are Muslims. Norwich is the most godless place in the country, as 42.5 per cent said they had no religion - despite the presence of one of England's most spectacular cathedrals. Britain's increasing diversity was emphasised by the data released by the Office of National Statistics, as it emerged that the proportion of the nation that is white has fallen below 90 per cent for the first time. 48.2million people described themselves as being white, making up 86.0 per cent of the population of England and Wales, down from 91.3 per cent a decade earlier. 7.5 per cent of the population is Asian, while 3.4 per cent described themselves as black. Unsurprisingly, London was found to be the most ethnically diverse region, while Wales was the least. London is also home to the most immigrants, as 37 per cent of its residents were born abroad and 24 per cent are not citizens of the UK. Results: This is the second tranche of data from the 2011 census to have been released One major reason for the explosion in the foreign-born population is the accession of 12 countries in central and eastern Europe to the EU, giving them the right to live and work in the UK - the population of Poles in England and Wales has grown nine-fold over the decade. Apart from Poland, the other leading countries of origin for British immigrants were India, Pakistan, Ireland and Germany. The largest increase in ethnic group over the last decade was seen in the 'White: Other' category where an increase of 1.1million was recorded. This reflects more than half a million Poles who migrated into England and Wales during these years, the ONS said. Around 2million respondents listed their partners or fellow household members as being of different ethnic groups - 47 per cent more than in 2001. Nearly half of Britons - 46.6 per cent - are married, the data revealed, with nine per cent divorced and seven per cent widowed. Over a third have never married, while 105,000 people - 0.2 per cent of the population - are in a same-sex civil partnership. The census results reveal that the mean age of people in England and Wales is 39.4, with 21.3 per cent of the population under 18 and 16.6 per cent aged 65 or over. Multicultural: The number of immigrants in England and Wales has shot up as the proportion of the population that is white has decreased over the past decade, according to census data Good news for the country came from the data on education, which revealed that for the first time more of us have a bachelor's degree or higher than have no academic qualifications - 27 to 23 per cent.
