Geographies of Ethnic Diversity and Inequalities (GEDI)
Lead Research Organisation:

Department Name: Sch of Natural and Built Environment
Abstract
This project aims to provide timely and impactful evidence on the ways in which ethnic diversity has grown, and the nature of the differing - and persistently unequal - neighbourhood experiences of people from different ethnic backgrounds. Where, and why, are neighbourhoods becoming more ethnically diverse? What are the processes that shape these local patterns? Have ethnic inequalities widened, and what is the geography of disadvantage? We will answer these, and related, questions through an innovative integration of previously disparate research strands on ethnic diversity, residential segregation, ethnic inequalities, and internal migration.
The UK's population, households and neighbourhoods are becoming increasingly ethnically and racially mixed and diverse. Alongside these demographic changes, the uneven impacts of, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, austerity measures, and Brexit, have shone a light on persistent ethnic and racial disadvantages, between people and across local areas. The Census provides the most comprehensive data available on small area ethnic group populations, and the publication of 2021 data thus represents an important opportunity to understand societal change at the local level. The project team will undertake a combination of rapid response and sustained analyses of 2021 Census ethnic group data and explore change over time (from 1991) in England and Wales, expanding to Northern Ireland and Scotland as 2021/22 Census data are published.
The proposed collaboration between the Office for National Statistics (ONS), leading UK- and US-based scholars in the field, and project partners the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) and Runnymede Trust, brings together a team with significant collective experience and expertise. Supported by a Project Advisory Group from central and local government and the third sector, the team will explore pressing research questions, advance the scholarly literature, and generate a rich and robust evidence base for a diversity of user groups.
This 38-month project has three main, inter-related, work packages (WPs), each of which offer considerable originality. Each WP is aligned with Census data publication phases, and with complementary academic outputs and impact-related activities. WP1 (Ethnic diversity, segregation and mixing) aims to map and analyse the new, emerging and stable geographies of ethnic diversity, to understand better the dynamics of neighbourhood transitions by considering layers of mixing between individuals, households and the spaces in which people live, and to explore how ethnic, socio-economic and age segregation inter-relate. WP2 (Socio-spatial ethnic inequalities) will document, analyse and explain the extent and persistence of local ethnic inequalities, and how experiences of neighbourhood deprivation vary between ethnic groups. WP3 (Internal migration and (im)mobility) will pay greater attention to the processes that shape ethnic residential patterns, including the role of ethnic group differences in internal migration in changing neighbourhood ethnic concentrations and deprivation.
Academic outputs will include articles in leading international journals, conference presentations, and project events. Pathways to impact are interwoven throughout the project to ensure that the findings are accessible, open, and useful for a range of user beneficiaries (e.g., Departments for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and Work and Pensions, Local Authority (LA) and third sector analysts, inquiring citizens). Outputs include co-produced ONS Census Topic Publications, 2021 Census briefings, LA analysis toolkit (briefings, 'how to' guide, workshops), school educational resources, knowledge exchange events, and a dedicated web resource (outputs, code, interactive mapping tool). The project has significant potential to transform policy, political and public understandings of how the UK's population, and its neighbourhoods, are changing.

| Description | To date, the project has generated significant and academically impactful results from two work packages, with analyses for the third (final) work package in advanced progress. Our timely rapid response analysis of 2021 Census small areas was the first detailed analysis of ethnic group data, and documented the rise and spread of ethnic diversity in neighbourhoods across England and Wales. The analysis was undertaken as part of work package one (ethnic diversity, segregation and mixing) and showed that while the most ethnically diverse neighbourhoods were in and around London, areas in Birmingham, Leicester, and Manchester were also becoming more ethnically diverse over time. We also showed that this growing neighbourhood ethnic diversity has been spatially diffusing across all regions of England and Wales, including beyond major urban centres. In addition to these changes in ethnic diversity, the study highlighted a steady decline in ethnic residential segregation across four census periods (1991-2021) by all ethnic groups - minority and majority. We evidenced greater inter-ethnic mixing in neighbourhoods, and that people are now more likely than ever to live next to someone that is of a different ethnic group to their own. The study challenges prevailing public-political narratives to show how places labelled as 'minority-majority' are, in fact, ethnically diverse spaces, home to sizable proportions of people from many ethnic groups. A separate analysis as part of work package one explored to what extent the diversification within households may be connected to the diversification of neighbourhoods in England and Wales. Focus was placed on the presence of mixed-ethnicity households in White-dominated neighbourhoods and highly diverse neighbourhoods, which make up the majority of neighbourhoods in England and Wales. The study used 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census data for England and Wales and revealed how higher levels of neighbourhood ethnic diversity were associated with higher shares of mixed-ethnicity households. In 2021, nearly a quarter of a million multiperson households in high-diversity neighbourhoods were ethnically mixed. The positive association between neighbourhood ethnic diversity and share of mixed-ethnicity households was also found for neighbourhoods that had diversified over the three census periods. A third study, as part of the same work package, uses data from the 2001, 2011 and 2021 Censuses of England and Wales to investigate the extent to which a neighbourhood's ethnic diversity varies across age groups, and how this variation changes as groups age in place. The study showed that ethnic diversity has increased across the age distribution over time nationally and in neighbourhoods, as the populations of many ethnic groups - not just those who are White British - age. Through a focus on age, our analysis offers a new means to gauge the experience of ethnic diversity of neighbourhood residents. For example, ageing-related increases in ethnic mixing in White majority neighbourhoods are apparent across all ages, with the largest increase occurring in middle age. The ageing out of White groups from some other neighbourhood types (e.g., majority Pakistani) was also clear. The findings add to debates about intergenerational mixing and contact between ethnic groups and how they matter for the social life of local communities. As part of work package two (socio-spatial ethnic inequalities), the team developed the Ethnic Group Deprivation Index (EGDI), which has already had significant academic and user beneficiary impact. This is a novel measure that captures ethnic group differences in deprivation levels at a granular geographical level. The EGDI was developed using a custom cross-tabulated 2021 Census dataset on employment, housing tenure, education and health by ethnic group, and reveals the small area geographies of ethnic inequalities that have to date received scant attention, and yet have profound impacts on life chances and well-being. The measure revealed stark ethnic inequalities within many neighbourhoods, with individuals in one ethnic group experiencing high levels of deprivation while sharing the same neighbourhood with people in other ethnic groups who are experiencing low levels of deprivation. Our findings underline that there are vulnerable groups living in hidden pockets of deprivation, within areas that may generally be regarded as having 'low' levels of deprivation. Ongoing analyses for work package three (internal migration) is revealing new findings on differential migration propensities by ethnic group, and the spatial patterns of migration between areas of co-ethnic concentration. The project is progressing well, with key milestones being met according to the planned timeframe. All work packages have complementary academic outputs or impact-related activities. Work package three, on ethnic group differences internal migration and (im)mobility, has been progressing using publicly available migration count (rate) data. Analyses of origin-destination (flow) data is planned for the coming months, once the (secure access) data have been made available to the team. The process of obtaining access to the secure data needed from the Integrated Data Service (IDS) on residents' migration flows within England and Wales involves a period of several months of application and review. |
| Exploitation Route | Our findings thus far have contributed to the existing academic literature on ethnic diversity, ethnic residential segregation, and ethnic inequalities. Academics in population geography, demography, sociology, public health, and political science, are finding project publications of interest and using project findings as the basis for future research in their respective fields. Two of the papers published are the most read and most cited in the journal. Their publication has led to multiple invited seminars to academic and user beneficiary audiences. The Ethnic Group Deprivation Index is being used by both academics and non-academic users (e.g., government and third sector analysts). Several Local Authority and third sector bodies have advanced plans to utilise the EGDI to inform decision-making on, for example, resource allocation for their local area(s) (see narrative impact). The four dimensions that make up the EGDI (i.e., health, housing, education, and employment) are also being used separately to inform analysts in local and central government, NHS Integrated Care Boards, and third sector organisations about more specific needs within their priority policy areas. |

| Description | The development and dissemination of GEDI's Ethnic Group Deprivation Index (EGDI) has spurred great interest from a wide range of user beneficiaries, both academic and non-academic, including analysts in central and local government and third sector organisations. Multiple applications of the EGDI in webpages and briefings. High-level examples include: (i) Hounslow Borough (London) used the EGDI to develop a detailed data dashboard for their area, with multiple links and pages integrated into their datahub and in the draft of their Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA); (ii) Barnet dashboard; (iii) Tower Hamlets Public Health Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), where the key trends evidenced by the EGDI are summarised and the distinct evidence provided by the EGDI are stressed; (iv) Birmingham dashboard; (v) Cambridge City Council report on mapping poverty to 'assess the extent and distribution of low-income households in the city and highlights groups of people and places most likely to experience it'; (vi) British Red Cross: development of data resource based on EGDI; the EGDI fed into strategic decision-making for the BRC, particularly in informing their strategies for the next 5 years. Citations in review documents, e.g., Muslim Council for Britain Census report (2024), Women's Budget Group report (2024). GEDI evidence of increasing neighbourhood ethnic diversity and decreasing ethnic residential segregation has informed public debate. Examples of impact include multiple citations in international media, which has the potential to help to shape and inform public and political attitudes. The academic impact of the project's first publication on ethnic diversification and mixing in England and Wales using 2021 Census data is evidenced through high citation rates in leading journals in Public Health, Population Geography, Demography, and Sociology. The findings of the article, while based on the United Kingdom, have been cited by academic articles in different contexts, including the United States, Finland, and Belgium. The academic article on the Ethnic Group Deprivation Index is the journal's most accessed article and has led to multiple seminar invitations. |

| Title | Ethnic Group Deprivation Index (EGDI) |
| Description | New research dataset: a highly novel Ethnic Group Deprivation Index (EGDI). The EGDI draws on 2021 Census data for England and Wales, on employment, housing, education and health by ethnic group, and is designed to capture the small area geographies of ethnic inequalities. The methodological approach for the creation of the EGDI broadly follows the methodology underlying the indices of multiple deprivation (IMDs) based on distinct deprivation domains, but which with the EGDI are combined into an index including each individual ethnic group separately. The new method distinguishes levels of neighbourhood deprivation among different ethnic groups. Empirically, this approach provides new insights and evidence that a place that is deprived for one ethnic group is not necessarily deprived for another. In other words, the EGDI reveals neighbourhood geographies of deprivation for ethnic groups and shows that they are not ubiquitous across groups. Discussion of the development of the dataset including its methodology and empirical results is published in The Geographical Journal; Lloyd et al. (2023). The EGDI has received considerable attention within and outside academia. Collaborations are under development with senior analysts in Local Authorities, NHS Integrated Care Boards, and the third sector. These senior analysts, who are working on equalities strategies, health, planning and housing, have requested bespoke data extracts for their local areas, guidance on the use and interpretation of the EGDI, etc. This is being supported by a series of webinars, and the development of guidance documentation. |
