2011 Census: Initial insights about the UK Jewish population

The first report in our series on the 2011 UK Census, based on data released by the Office for National Statistics. After decades of numerical decline, the Jewish population of England and Wales has stabilised, although this masks a complex picture of change at the local level.

The research team at JPR is engaged in a long-term project to investigate Census data as they are released. They provide an extraordinarily detailed view of the British Jewish population and are being used to support the work of Jewish charities throughout the country.
