Ethnicity classification used in the 2011 United Kingdom Census
This article is about one of the white ethnicity classifications used in the United Kingdom census. For the broad racial group, see white people in the United Kingdom. For the general page on Poles in the United Kingdom, see Polish Britons.
White Polish is an ethnicity classification used in Scotland at the 2011 United Kingdom Census. In the 2021 census, the White Polish ethnic group totalled 705,080 in Great Britain, 90,736 of which were in Scotland making up 1.67% of the total population of Scotland at the time.[2]
In England and Wales, the category is not its own section like Scotland meaning write-in answers for "White Polish" are designated under the broader Other White group.[4] However, the Office for National Statistics does provide data on the exact number of individuals who identified themselves as falling under the 'White Polish' ethnic category[1] whereas the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency does not.[3]
The Scottish Government's policy since 2011, however, has been to include "White Polish" as a specific subgrouping of the 5,084,407 white people recorded in Scotland at the last UK census. Other subgroupings in Scotland's census are "White Scottish", "White Other British", "White Irish", "White Gypsy / Traveller", and "White Other White".[4][5][6]
