Presenting the first detailed analysis of 2021 Census small area ethnic group data, we find that the growth of ethnic diversity at the national level is mirrored across residential neighbourhoods. Increasing numbers of neighbourhoods are home to a substantial mix of people from different ethnic groups, and this growing neighbourhood ethnic diversity has been spatially diffusing across all regions of England and Wales. We argue that to understand the ethnic mosaic across England and Wales, it is more illuminating to consider mix than majority: places labelled as ‘minority-majority’ are, in fact, ethnically diverse spaces, home to sizable proportions of people from many ethnic groups. Increasing ethnic diversity is matched by decreasing residential segregation, for all ethnic groups—majority and minority. date: 2023-03-01 date_type: published publisher: WILEY official_url: https://doi.org/10.1111/geoj.12507 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2003487 doi: 10.1111/geoj.12507 lyricists_name: Jivraj, Stephen lyricists_id: SLJIV58 actors_name: Jivraj, Stephen actors_id: SLJIV58 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: ES/W012499/1 [Economic and Social Research Council] full_text_status: public publication: The Geographical Journal volume: 189 number: 1 pagerange: 63-67 pages: 15 issn: 0016-7398 citation: Catney, Gemma; Lloyd, Christopher DD; Ellis, Mark; Wright, Richard; Finney, Nissa; Jivraj, Stephen; Manley, David; (2023) Ethnic diversification and neighbourhood mixing: A rapid response analysis of the 2021 Census of England and Wales.
