Census 2011: Regions & Districts – Religion (KS209) ( KS209-NRD )

This is the Religion table (KS206) from the 2011 Census. The table provides data on the religion of all usual residents. Data is for England, regions and districts.

The question was:

  • What is your religion? (this question is voluntary)
  • No religion
  • Christian (including Church of England, Catholic, Protestant, and all other Christian denominations)
  • Buddhist
  • Hindu
  • Jewish
  • Muslim
  • Sikh
  • Any other religion

The 2011 census in England and Wales took place on 27th March 2011. It provides a snapshot of the population and its characteristics on that day.

Religion – This is a person’s current religion, or if the person does not have a religion, ‘no religion’. No determination is made about whether a person was a practicing member of a religion. Unlike other census questions where missing answers are imputed, this question was voluntary, and where no answer was provided the response is categorised as ‘Not stated’.

Usual resident – The main population base for outputs from the 2011 Census is the usual resident population as at census day 27 March 2011. Although the population base for enumeration included non-UK short-term residents, this population is analysed separately and is not included in the main outputs from the 2011 Census. All outputs, unless specified, are produced using only usual residents of the UK. For 2011 Census purposes, a usual resident of the UK is anyone who, on census day, was in the UK and had stayed or intended to stay in the UK for a period of 12 months or more, or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK and intended to be outside the UK for less than 12 months.
