S10mainly Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 You could've mentioned the changing patterns of home ownership, employment and faiths that were also highlighted in the Census population data, though I noticed that it is the ethnic diversity of the population that prompted you to post Yes you are right Because I never ever spend anytime in East Lancashire where the population is more like 50/40, with 10 % Lithuanians as a bit of spice to the mix. Why would a good bleeding heart pinko like yourself think that I am bothered about the ethnic make up of Sheffield? Im more worried about important things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 ....its got a lot more "brown" but some Sheffielders think that is a good thing..... Why would a good bleeding heart pinko like yourself think that I am bothered about the ethnic make up of Sheffield? Not bothered at all by the look of things.

Penistone999 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Sheffield; White British/English/Scottish/Welsh/Northern Irish: 80.8% White Irish: 0.5% White Gypsy/Traveller: 0.1% White Other: 2.3% Mixed - White and Black: 1.2% Mixed - White and Asian:0.6% Mixed - Other Mixed: 0.6% Asian/Asian British - Indian: 1.1% Asian/Asian British - Pakistani: 4.0% Asian/Asian British - Bangladeshi: 0.6% Asian/Asian British - Chinese: 1.3% Asian/Asian British - Other Asian: 1.0% Black African: 2.1% Black Caribbean: 1.0% Black Other: 0.5% Arab: 1.5% Any Other ethnic group: 0.7% Source = 2011 census. 2011 Census: KS201EW Ethnic group, local authorities in England and Wales (Excel sheet 335Kb), Release date =11 Dec 12, Reference table. http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/datasets-and-tables/index.html?newquery=*&newoffset=100&pageSize=50&content-type=Reference+table&content-type=Dataset&content-type-orig=%22Dataset%22+OR+content-type_original%3A%22Reference+table%22&sortBy=pubdate&sortDirection=DESCENDING&applyFilters=true Data from the 2001 census can be found here; https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/sheffield-profile/population-and-health/2001-census/ethnicity.html In 2001, Sheffield had a population of 513 230, 457 728 (89.2%) of which were White British. In 2011, Sheffield had a population of 552 698, 446, 837 (80.8%) of which were White British. In the past 10 years Sheffield's population has increased by 39 468. That is an increase of 7.7% upon the 2001 population. There were 10 891 less White British people in Sheffield in 2011 than there were in 2001 (myself being one of those who left). The White British population (relative to itself) has fallen by 2.4%. In 2001 there were 55502 non-White British, in 2011 there were 105861 non-White British, a 50359 (90.7%) increase. A 7.7% increase in the population of Sheffield over 10 years is a very big increase indeed, and this translates to a need for more housing, schools, hospital beds etc. There is plenty of housing available for rent in sheffield ,you only have to look at the property to let section on here and on Gumtree to see that. The problem is some people want landlords to rent their property out at break even rates ,and they see any landlord who rents out property as a business as evil money grabbers . Rents in sheffield are reasonable in my view,and cannot be used as an excuse for people not being able to find a property to live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is plenty available and people are living in overcrowded conditions and queuing up for social housing, then it is clear the rents are too high. Shame we don;t have a tax on property to force landlords to lower rents or go bust, so somebody else can let the property at affordable rates.

Why should landlords invest their own money in property to rent it out and make no profit . ? If you run a business ,would you be happy for it to make no profit ? Your business wouldnt last long if you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottedplant Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 They haven't got me in those statistics as I refused to fill out the part of the census that dealt with race and ethnicity. I just left it blank. You may think it's acceptable to hand over that knowledge to the government, but remember that the Germans found Holland the easiest country under their control in which to round up Jews for sending to the death camps. That was entirely down to meticulous Dutch record keeping about their populations ethnicity. Our government is currently benign in that respect, but that could easily change in a decade or three. Nor do they have me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
