这篇论文使用共同的群体和地区定义比较了近20年来的种族变化和多样性。据显示，少数民族群体在1981年至1991年期间迅速增长47%，在1991年至2001年期间增长39%。一些群体增长迅速(非洲黑人、孟加拉人)，而其他群体(印度人、其他亚洲人)则温和扩张。白人人口几乎没有增长，而英国白人人口可能已经下降。与1991年和1981年一样，2001年黑人和少数民族人口仍然集中在大都市地区。在1981至1991年间，BEM集团集中在大都市地区，而在1991至2001年间，大多数集团开始分散。伦敦地区是最具优势的地区，1991年和2001年居住了BEM地区50%以上的人口。然而，在7991至2001年间，BEM集团在其核心领域之外发展壮大。边界地区人口增长和扩散的结果是所有地区的种族多样性急剧增加。
The paper compares ethnic change and diversity across two recent decades using common group and area definitions. Ethnic minority groups are shown to be growing rapidly at 47 per cent between 1981 and 1991 and 39 per cent between 1991 and 2001. Some groups have grown swiftly (Black Africans, Bangladeshis), while others have seen moderate expansion (Indians, Other Asians). The White population has hardly grown and the White British population has probably declined. Black and Ethnic Minority (BEM) populations remain concentrated in metropolitan areas in 2001 as in 1991 and 1981. Whereas between 1981 and 1991, BEM groups were concentrating into metropolitan areas, between 1991 and 2001 deconcentration began for most groups. The London region stands out as highly dominant, housing more than 50 per cent of BEM populations as a whole in 1991 and 2001. However, between 7991 and 2001, BEM groups grew outside their core areas. The consequence of BEM population growth and spread has been a dramatic increase in ethnic diversity in all regions.
