Born abroad

Equal population density map of number of people born abroad in the UK

Most people born abroad live in the South of England – especially London. New statistical analysis decouples immigration from ethnicity and focusses on changes between 1991 and now. The map above shows the numbers of people born abroad in various regions – the map has been distorted so that the number of people in each area is the same.

This one has great potential for statistical work – both research on secondary data, careful investigation of the basis of the data, and sampling error
