What this map shows

318 of 318 local authority areas have a current value for asian, asian british or asian welsh: bangladeshi (share of usual residents), Census 2021 (21 March 2021). Classes are quantiles of the areas with data, computed on the server, so the same link always gives the same legend.

What this does not measure

2011 category labels differ (e.g. "White: English/Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish/British"); the census stream's category mapping supplies source_value_2011 before the change period can serve.
