BME POPULATION LOCAL WARD BREAKDOWN

2011 Census BME population residing in the localities of Leeds
The second release of local 2011 Census data was made available through the Leeds Observatory at the end of January 2013. Data is now available at ward level (33 electoral local authority wards in Leeds) providing useful information on where Black Minority Ethnic (BME) communities reside in the city. Information from Leeds City Councils Leeds Observatory (website: www.leeds.gov.uk) site was used to develop this document. Information broken down into medium and super output areas should be released later in the year. This will provide a much richer source of demographic intelligence at a very localised level. The table below outlines the top ten wards (including comparison with 2001 Census) which have the greatest concentration of BME communities by percentage: Ward Gipton & Harehills Chapel Allerton Hyde Park & Woodhouse City & Hunslet Burmantofts & Richmond Hill Roundhay Moortown BME Pop & % (2011) BME Pop & % (2001) 17,392 64.2% 11,479 48.8% 11,336 43.75% 9,783 39.6% 7,733 - 37.4% 7,011 30.7%

Key highlights: Two thirds (93,890) of all BME residents live in the above listed 10 local authority wards of Leeds.

BME communities are concentrated in local authority wards around the centre of the city. Over 40% of BME communities in Leeds reside within a 2 miles radius of the city centre. 9 out of the 33 local authority wards in Leeds have over a quarter of BME communities residing in them.

The majority of residents (64.2%) in the Gipton & Harehills ward are from BME backgrounds.

The BME population in the City & Hunslet and Burmantofts & Richmond Hill wards has significantly increased since the 2001 Census. Both have seen an increase in the BME population by over 200% in the last 10 years. Evidence suggests that migration from EU accession states and arrival of asylum seekers and refugees during the last ten years have been the main reasons for the substantial increase in the BME population in these two wards. A significant proportion of the BME population in the Hyde Park and Woodhouse ward constitute both domestic and overseas university students. For example the largest Chinese community in Leeds who are predominantly overseas students is located in this ward. There has been an increase in BME communities residing in more affluent parts of Leeds (Roundhay, Moortown and Alwoodley). These BME communities tend to come from established BME groups such as the Indian and Pakistani communities.

 21 out of the 33 local authority wards in Leeds have a percentage of BME residents below the overall city average of 18.9%. 4 local authority wards (Garforth & Swillington, Kippax & Methley, Otley & Yeadon and Wetherby wards) in Leeds have a percentage of BME residents below 5%.

What should service providers do with the information? To get a better understanding of the diverse make up of BME communities at locality level and using this information to develop community intelligence which informs the planning and commissioning of services at local level. To ensure staff and volunteers are aware of the local BME communities they are supporting and delivering services to. To develop localised baseline performance targets. To better target resources and services meeting the specific local needs of BME communities. To support targeted consultation and engagement with specific BME communities at locality level.
