英国 1991 年人口普查首次纳入了种族认同问题。这使我们能够以比迄今为止更可靠的基础来衡量英国城市的种族隔离程度。它还使我们能够将英国的种族隔离程度与非裔美国人在美国所经历的种族隔离程度进行比较。英国的种族隔离程度远低于美国，而且对于加勒比黑人人口来说，种族隔离程度正在下降。南亚人口的隔离程度高于加勒比地区人口，但内部差异很大。孟加拉国人是最近抵达的群体，其封装水平最高，其次是巴基斯坦人，而印度人的封装率相对较低。间接标准化表明经济因素对观察到的隔离水平的贡献并不大。
The British 1991 Census included a question on ethnic identity for the first time. This allows us to measure the extent of ethnic segregation in British cities on a much more reliable basis than has hitherto been available. It also allows us to compare British levels of segregation with those experienced by African Americans in the United States. British levels of segregation are much lower than those found in the USA and, for the Black Caribbean population, they are falling. South Asian levels of segregation are higher than for the Caribbean population but show considerable internal variation. Bangladeshis, the most recently arrived of the groups, show the highest levels of encapsulation, followed by the Pakistanis, while Indian rates are relatively modest. Indirect standardization indicates that the contribution of economic factors to the observed levels of segregation is not substantial.
