INTRODUCTION

• A census is taken simultaneously in all parts of
  the UK every ten years.
• The Office for National Statistics is
  responsible for collecting data for England and
  Wales, the General Register Office for Scotland
  and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research
  Agency each being responsible for censuses in
  their respective countries.
• In the 2011 census the total population of the
  United Kingdom was 63,181,775.
• It is the third-largest in the European Union,
  the fifth-largest in the Commonwealth and the
  21st-largest in the world
• Its overall population density is one of the
  highest in the world at 259 people per square
  kilometre, due to the particularly high
  population density in England. Almost one-third
  of the population lives in England's southeast,
  which is predominantly urban and suburban, with
  about 8 million in the capital city of London,
  the population density of which is just over
  5,200 per square kilometre.

• The UK's population is predominantly White
  British. Being located close to continental
  Europe, the countries that formed the United
  Kingdom were subject to many invasions and
  migrations, especially from Scandinavia and the
  continent, including Roman occupation for several
  centuries.
• Historically, British people were thought to be
  descended mainly from the different ethnic stocks
  that settled there before the 11th century
  pre-Celtic, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Viking and
  Norman. Although Celtic languages are partially
  spoken in Scotland, Cornwall, and Northern
  Ireland, the predominant language overall is
  English. In North and West Wales, Welsh is widely
  spoken as a first language, but much less so in
  the South East of the country, where English is
  the predominant language
