BRIDGE RESEARCH 2014: Data report on population and ethnic diversity to the Norfo k & Norwich Festival Bridge

Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity.

The aim of this project is to compile and analyse current population data in the four counties of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Peterborough and Suffolk – areas covered by the Norwich & Norfolk Festival Bridge. The following datasets are used in the analysis:

• Most recent mid-year population estimates and subnational population projections (ONS)

• Data on ethnic diversity including ethnic group, country of birth, religion, main language, and English language proficiency (2011 Census, ONS)

The analysis compares the four counties and benchmarks them against the national and regional (Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region) averages. District and ward level data are used to identify the differences within each area.

The results of the analysis are summarised in this report accompanied by graphs and tables to visualise differences within the region. Key observations and trends are outlined in the Executive summary. All underlying data is in included in the accompanying tables (appendixes). Note that most figures in this report are rounded to the nearest 100, while the data in the appendixes is unchanged unless mentioned separately.

The Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge is funded by Arts Council England (ACE)as one of ten Bridge organisations working across England.

The Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge‘s mission is to connect children and young people with arts and culture across Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Peterborough and Suffolk with the vision that by 2015 an increasing number of our younger generation will be enthused, participating in and leading arts and cultural activities across our region.

INTRODUCTION

7

Our definition of diversity encompasses responding to issues around race, ethnicity, faith, disability, age, gender, sexuality, class and economic disadvantage and any social and institutional barriers that prevent people from participating in and enjoying the arts. We are turning our focus from remedying past imbalances towards celebrating diversity positively, with all the artistic and creative opportunities it offers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

9

• Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge covers an area of about 2.4 million people including the counties of Norfolk (865,300), Suffolk (732,300), Cambridgeshire (628,300) and Peterborough UA (186,400 people).

• Over the last ten years (2002-2012) the population in the region has grown by 10%, more than the national average at 7.7%. The fastest growing area within the Festival Bridge region has been Peterborough (17.4% growth) followed by Cambridgeshire (12.4%).

• The population of Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region is projected to reach 2.5 million by 2016 and over 2.6 million by 2021. The projected 9.1% growth over 10 years is equivalent to an annual average growth rate of 0.9%, in line with the projected growth rate of 0.8 per cent across England. Within the region, Peterborough UA and Cambridgeshire are projected to grow faster than the regional and national averages (12.7% and 10.5% respectively over the 10 year period).

• Almost nine in ten people living in the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region are White British/Irish (89%), compared to eight in ten across England (80%).

• The largest minority ethnic group in the region is White Other* (5.2%) followed by Asian/Asian British (3.1%). Other ethnic groups are much less represented with Mixed/multiple ethnic groups making up only 1.6% and Black/Black British 0.9% of the total population.

• Of the four local authority areas in the region, Peterborough is ethnically the most diverse with almost three people in ten (28.4%) from a minority background. Cambridgeshire is also relatively diverse with 15% of people other than White British/Irish.

• Cambridge, in fact, is the most ethnically diverse area in the region, even compared to Peterborough that came on top when comparing with county level data. Around third of population in Cambridge (32.6%) are from ethnic group other than White British/Irish.

• Peterborough, where the largest minority ethnic group is Asian/Asian British (11.7%), has also the highest percentage of White Other population (10.6%) in the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region. In Cambridgeshire, the White Other group constitutes 7.1%, whilst Asian/Asian British is second with 4.1%. In Suffolk and Norfolk, the White Other is the largest minority ethnic group (3.8% and 3.5% of population, respectively).

• Peterborough has a significantly larger proportion of migrants born in one of the EU accession countries (7.7%) compared to other areas is the region and it also has a highest proportion of people born outside the EU (9.9%) in the region.

• Across the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region, nine in ten people (89.8%) were born in the UK. This is followed by Poland (27,300 people in total) and United States (23,000).

• The three most commonly spoken languages in the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region are English (spoken as a main language by 95% of population), Polish (spoken by 2.6% or 59,600 people) and Lithuanian (spoken by 0.5% or 11,500 people).

* This includes predominantly people from EU accession/Eastern European countries

2 POPULATION TRENDS

POPULATION ESTIMATES

The Office for National Statistics calculates annual estimates of the usual resident population of England and Wales that can be broken down by local authority, sex and age. The Census, which takes place every 10 years in the UK (most recently in March 2011), provides the most authoritative population estimates. These are updated each year to produce mid-year population estimates for the years in between Censuses*.

* http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/npp/national-population-projections/2012-based-extra-variants/sty-difference-between-projection-and-estimates.html

THE TOTAL POPULATION OF THE NORFOLK & NORWICH FESTIVAL BRIDGE AREA IS 2,412,300.

The largest county in the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region is Norfolk with around 36% of its population, followed by Suffolk (30%) and Cambridgeshire (26%). Peterborough is the smallest local authority area in the region with 8% of its population.

POPULATION GROWTH

In the last decade the population has increased in all four areas. Numerically, the largest growth has been in Cambridgeshire (69,400 more people compared to 2002), followed by Norfolk (61,800), Suffolk (57,700) and Peterborough (27,600). Proportionally, Peterborough has experienced the largest growth relative to its population (17.4% compared to 2002), followed by 12.4% in Cambridgeshire and 8.6% in Suffolk and 7.7% in Norfolk.

Peterborough (17.4%) and Cambridgeshire (12.4%) have had a population growth above the national average (7.7%) from 2002 to 2012, while the population growth in Norfolk and Suffolk has been similar to the national average. In total, the population in the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region has grown by about 10% in the last decade.(table 1)

The district level population estimates for 2012 and the growth figures between 2002 and 2012 can be found in Appendix 1 of this report. This shows that the change in population figures varies within each area as well as the growth in the last decade. Not counting Peterborough UA, two districts in Cambridgeshire decade – 14.6% in South Cambridgeshire and 14.5%

in East Cambridgeshire - had the highest population growth in the last, whilst the smallest growth were in Waveney in Suffolk (2.2%) and North Norfolk (3.1%).

POPULATION PROJECTIONS

Subnational population projections by age and sex are usually produced every two years. The 2012-based sub-national population projections are due to be released in May-June 2014. The most recent subnational population projections available are the Interim 2011-based projections from the Office for National Statistics released on 28 September 2012. These project the population for 10 years to 2021 and are based on the 2011 mid-year population estimates that take into account results from the 2011 Census.

The primary purpose of the subnational projections is to provide an estimate of the future size and age structure of the population of local authorities in England in a consistent way. Note that the projections become increasingly uncertain the further they are carried forward due to the inherent uncertainty of demographic behaviour. This is particularly so for smaller geographical areas.

The interim 2011-based population projections predict the population of Norfolk & Norwich Festival

Bridge region to reach 2.5 million by 2016 and over 2.6 million by 2021. The projected 9.1% growth over 10 years is equivalent to an annual average growth rate of 0.9%, in line with the national average of 0.8% for England. Within the region, Peterborough UA (12.7%) and Cambridgeshire (10.5%) are projected to grow faster than the national or the Festival Bridge region averages over the 10 year period.

Of the 12.7% projected growth in Peterborough UA, 10.2% is due to natural change (the difference between births and deaths) and just 2.3% to net migration (in migration minus out migration). In Peterborough, the net migration comes solely from the growing international inflows while the internal outflows (moving to other regions in the UK) are expected to be higher than internal inflows.

FIGURE 2INTERIM 2011-BASED POPULATION PROJECTION FOR 2011-2021

Source: Office for National Statistics

In Cambridgeshire, about half of the total projected growth (10.5%) is due to the natural change (5.2%) and the other half (5.3%) is due to net migration. Of migration, 3.1% is from internal net migration and 2.2% from international net migration. In Norfolk, where the projected growth is 8.7% between 2011 and 2021, it comes mainly from net migration (7.7%) and only 1.0% from

natural change. Most of the net migration is projected to be internal migration (5.2%) and less from international migration (2.7%).

Of the 7.5% total projected growth in Suffolk, 2.0% is due to natural change while 5.5% is due to net migration. In this case, it’s all from internal migration and international outflows are projected to exceed the international inflows.

As seen from the table 3 above, the projected growth varies considerably within the counties. Whilst Peterborough UA has the highest projected growth of all the Festival Bridge region areas, some districts within other areas are projected to grow faster. The biggest increase in population is projected for East Cambridgeshire district

(20.5% between 2001 and 2021). Cambridgeshire has also the district with lowest projected growth – Cambridge (-1.5%). Note that these are projections only and may not reflect the real changes.

3 ETHNICDIVERSITY

Ethnic group classifies people according to their own perceived ethnic group and cultural background.

Almost nine in ten people living in the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region are White British/Irish population (89%), compared to eight in ten across England (80%). Of the four counties/areas in the region, Peterborough is most diverse in terms of ethnicity with almost three people in ten from minority ethnic background. Cambridgeshire is also relatively diverse with 15% BME (Black and minority ethnic) population.

In the NN Festival region, the largest minority ethnic group is White Other* (5.1%) followed by Asian/Asian British (3.1%). The other ethnic groups are much smaller with Mixed/multiple ethnic groups only 1.6% and Black/Black British (0.9%). By comparison, in England, the largest minority ethnic groups are Asian/Asian British (7.8%), White Other (4.7%) and Black/Black British (3.5%).

Peterborough, where the largest minority ethnic group is Asian/Asian British (11.7%), has also the highest percentage of White Other population (10.6%) in the NN Festival region. In Cambridgeshire, White Other group makes up 7.1%, whilst Asian/Asian British is second with 4.1%. In both Suffolk and Norfolk, White Other is the largest minority ethnic group (3.8% and 3.5% of population respectively).

* White Other group consists mostly of people from EU accession/Eastern European countries

The district level analysis shows that within each county there are more diverse pockets where a higher proportion of population is

from minority ethnic background (see table 4 below). Cambridge is the most ethnically diverse area in the region, even more so than Peterborough UA. Around a third of population in Cambridge (32.6%) is from minority ethnic background.

TABLE 4 PROPORTION OF WHITE BRITISH/IRISH AND BME ETHNIC GROUP

The country of birth question in Census included six tick box responses - one for each of the four parts of the UK, one for the Republic of Ireland, and one for 'Elsewhere'. Where a person ticked 'Elsewhere', they were asked to indicate the name of the country in which they were born. Countries in the EU are grouped into those that were EU members in March 2001, and those that became members between April 2001 and March 2011 as part of the EU enlargement process (Accession countries).

COUNTRY OF BIRTH

As seen from the figure opposite, Peterborough has a significantly larger proportion of migrants from EU accession countries (7.7%) compared to other areas in the region. Despite differences in population sizes, the total number of Eastern Europeans in Peterborough (14,100) is not much lower than in Cambridgeshire (17,300) and Norfolk (15,300). Suffolk has the lowest number of East European migrants (11,200 or 1.5%). Peterborough also has a highest proportion of people born in countries outside the EU (9.9%).

Across the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region, the top 3 countries of birth are UK (89.8% of population), Poland (27,300 people), and the United States (23,000 people). There are some differences between each area, e.g. in Suffolk, Poland comes third after the United States; in Suffolk, the third largest group is Germany after Poland; and in Peterborough, the third largest group is Pakistan with the United States absent from the top 10 list. Table 5 below outlines top 10 countries of birth for all four areas.

BRIDGE RESEARCH 2014: Ethnic diversity

Religion is defined as person’s current religion, or if the person does not have a religion, it is categorised as ‘no religion’. It does not necessarily mean that a person is a practicing member of a religion. Unlike other census questions, this question was voluntary, and where no answer was provided the response is categorised as ‘not stated’.

RELIGION

About two thirds of the population in Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region have said that they have a religion. Cambridgeshire had the highest proportion of people who said they don’t have a religion (30.4% compared to the national average of 24.7%).

Peterborough has the smallest Christian population in the region (56.7%) and the highest Muslim population (9.4% compared the national average of 5.0%). Other religions are very small in proportion in all counties shown as seen in figure 5.

The district level analysis shows that most districts in Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region are predominantly Christian with the exception of Cambridge and Norwich, where the percentage of Christians was below 50% of the population whilst still the main religion. These districts had the highest proportion of people who said they don’t have a religion (42.5% in Norwich and 37.8% in Cambridge).

FIGURE 5 POPULATION BY RELIGION


19

The highest percentage of Christians was in Fenland, Cambridgeshire (66.4%), King’s Lynn and West Norfolk (66.4%) and North Norfolk (66.0%). Peterborough has the largest Muslim population in the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Bridge region (9.4% or 17,300 people in total), followed by Cambridge (4.0% or 4,900 in total). Cambridge had the highest number of Buddhists (1,600 in total) of the districts in the NN region. It also had the highest number of Hindus (2,100) after Peterborough (2,300). Ipswich in Suffolk and Norwich in Norfolk have also over 2,000 Muslims (3,600 and 2,600 respectively).

See Appendix 4 for more details.

LANGUAGE

The top three languages (spoken as the main language by all residents aged 3 and over) in the NN Festival region are English (spoken by 94.6% of the population), followed by Polish (2.6% or 59,600 people) and Lithuanian (0.5% or 11,500 people).

In Norfolk and Suffolk, the third most spoken language is Portuguese followed by Lithuanian as seen from table 6.

In total, Peterborough has the highest percentage of population whose main language is not English of the four areas (16.1% compared to 8.0% in England). This means 28,200 people in Peterborough do not speak English as their main language. In Cambridgeshire, 7.1%

of population has a main language other than English (42,400 people in total). In Norfolk and Suffolk only under 4% of people speak a language other than English as their main language (3.7% and 3.3% respectively).

However, in terms the English language proficiency, most people whose main language is not English can speak English well or very well. Of the four regions, Peterborough has the highest proportion of people who said they cannot speak English well or at all (4.9% of the total population compared to 1.7% in England). In other areas, the proportion of people who are non-proficient is below the national average.

Note: Proficiency in English language classifies people whose main language is not English according to their ability to speak English. A person is classified in one of the categories:

• Can speak english very well

• Can speak english well

• Cannot speak english well, or

• Cannot speak english.
