This is the first time this information has been available from the census. It helps to provide accurate migration trends to the United Kingdom (UK) and allows increased understanding of the proportion of migrants that remain in the UK.  It also helps to determine the number of short-term migrants, which allows national and local government to better understand the size of the population so they can plan, fund and provide appropriate services.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by religion.  The classification used follows the tick box options on the questionnaire and includes those religions included in the write-in response. It also includes whether this question was answered, as this was a voluntary question.  The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011. 

The statistics help in developing and monitoring policy aimed at assessing the needs of population groups whose experiences of public services and social interaction, for example employment and education, may be different to those in other groups. This information is used to plan services and target resources, and allows public authorities to assess and tackle discrimination and social exclusion associated with religion.  This information is also used by the NHS and local authorities to plan services for people from a wide range of religious backgrounds and to monitor their access to services, for example to inform policies on hospital chaplains or public literature and broadcasting.
