How this ranking is made

Share of usual residents: people in the category ÷ all usual residents × 100.. Usual residents by where they were born, from the Census of England and Wales, 2021 (TS004) and 2011 (KS204), official categories only. Country of birth is not nationality: it does not change, and someone born abroad may be a British citizen.

Source: ONS: ons_census · Census 2021. Boundaries: 2025-05 BGC v2 LAD_MAY_2025_UK_BGC_V2. Percentiles are calculated across the whole UK, so they do not change when the table is filtered to one nation. A ranking compares areas of very different sizes and populations; the figure is the publisher’s own, and its rank is Civometry’s ordering of those published figures.

Staffordshire Moorlands has the highest share of usual residents of 296 England local authorities with a published figure, at 97.4% (Census 2021 (21 March 2021)). Source: ONS: ons_census.
