This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Nationa Identity by ethnic group in Scotland.
National identity
A classification of a person's national identity.
National identity is a feeling of attachment to a nation. This does not need to be the same as ethnic group or legal nationality (citizenship). For example, this could be about the country or countries where a person feels they belong or they think of as home.

Ethnic group
Ethnic group classifies people according to their own perceived ethnic group and cultural background. Whilst the main ethnic group categories have not changed from the question asked in Census 2011, some of the detailed response options and write-in prompts for Scotland's Census 2022 were changed based on stakeholder engagement and subsequent question testing.
