Every ten years, the Census provides a full view of people and households in the UK. It asks the same questions nationwide, allowing us to compare groups and areas consistently. This consistency makes it vital for the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and district partners. It supports decisions on policy, strategy, public services, and funding.
This page gathers the Census 2021 results for West Yorkshire. It shows how the region has changed over the last decade in areas like population, housing, labour market, ethnicity, language, religion, migration, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
