Northern Ireland Census 2021 - MS-A23: Passports held - full detail

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in Northern Ireland by passports held. The estimates are as at census day, 21 March 2021.

The census collected information on the usually resident population of Northern Ireland on census day (21 March 2021). Initial contact letters or questionnaire packs were delivered to every household and communal establishment, and residents were asked to complete online or return the questionnaire with information as correct on census day. Special arrangements were made to enumerate special groups such as students, members of the Travellers Community, HM Forces personnel etc. The Census Coverage Survey (an independent doorstep survey) followed between 12 May and 29 June 2021 and was used to adjust the census counts for under-enumeration.

This table reports the categories for which there are 10 or more usual residents. Where there are fewer than 10 usual residents for any category, these have been reported in a residual group which may or may not contain 10 or more usual residents in total.

After 'United Kingdom only', 'Ireland only', and 'United Kingdom and Ireland only', the passport held categories in this table are listed in descending numerical order within the following categories: ‘United Kingdom and another passport’, ‘Ireland and another passport’, ‘United Kingdom, Ireland and another passport’, and ‘Other only’. In each case where another passport is listed the continent is specified, followed by the country of issue for example, 'Other only: Europe: Poland'.

'EU' is the European Union and is as defined on Census day (21 March 2021).

People who indicated they have a passport from British Overseas Territories are included in 'Europe: Other non-EU countries'.
