This makes London the first UK region where white ethnic Britons have become a minority.

根据最新数据，只有45%的伦敦人是英格兰、苏格兰或威尔士白人后裔，2001年这一比例接近60%。

The top source of new migrants to England and Wales overall for the decade was India – supplanting Ireland in the decade to 2001 – while the second-biggest source was Poland. In the 2001 census, Poland did not make the top 10.

这令伦敦成为首个英国白人占少数的英国地区。

Overall, the population of England and Wales has become better educated than it was a decade ago. A higher percentage have university degrees than have no qualifications, a reversal of the situation in 2001.

过去10年里，印度取代爱尔兰，成为整个英格兰和威尔士的第一大新移民来源（爱尔兰是2001年数据中之前10年最大的移民来源）。第二大移民来源是波兰，波兰在2001年普查中未排入前十名。
