This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for the Country of Birth by ethnic group in Scotland.
Country of birth
Country of birth is the country in which a person was born. Users should be mindful of changes in EU members and accession states between 2011 and 2022. This will affect the number of countries which make up certain categories when comparing the results between censuses.

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.
