What this measures
Usual residents on Census Day 2021 by ethnic group (the 24 broad and detailed groups of table RM032) and by five age bands (24 and under, 25 to 34, 35 to 49, 50 to 64, 65 and over), all persons, from Census 2021 ready-made table RM032. The dimension value is "<ethnic group> | <age band>"; "Total" in either position is the published marginal row.
What this doesn’t measure
Single years of age, sex splits (only "All persons" is stored), or the TS021 totals, which are perturbed separately and differ by a few people.
Important caveat
RM032 is a Census 2021 ready-made multivariate table. It is perturbed separately from the topic summary TS021, so its totals differ from TS021 by a few people, and its age bands are the six broad bands the ONS chose for the table, not single years of age. Only the "All persons" sex total is stored. The dimension value is "<ethnic group> | <age band>" with the table's own labels; "Total" in either position is the published marginal, not a computed sum.
