The recent Census 2021 ethnic group release is able to give us a detailed insight into the ethnicities found within the county.

Since 1991, the Census for England and Wales has included a question about ethnic group.

The ethnic group question has two stages. Firstly, a person identifies through one of the following five high-level ethnic groups:

• "Asian, Asian British, Asian Welsh"
• "Black, Black British, Black Welsh, Caribbean or African"
• "Mixed or Multiple"
• "White"
• "Other ethnic group"

Secondly, a person identifies through one of the 19 available response options, which include categories with write-in response options.
