Introduction
The statistics included within this document provide a wide ranging profile of the Northern Ireland population covering
demography, identity, health, housing, educational qualifications, labour market activity, travel to work or study and
migration. The information is presented primarily at an Electoral Ward level, but includes Belfast and Northern Ireland figures
by way of comparators.

The Census is widely acknowledged as playing a fundamental and unique role in the provision of comprehensive and
robust population statistics. Census information is needed to form policy, to plan services for specific groups of people and,
especially, to make effective use of resources through distributing them to where they are needed most.

Balmoral DEA

Ethnicity
- On Census Day 2011, 6.3 per cent (2,012) of the usually resident population of Balmoral DEA belonged to minority ethnic
groups, a decrease from the proportion in 2001 (2.7 per cent). The top three minority ethnic groups within the area were
Other Asian (460 people), Chinese (451 people), Indian (446 people) and Mixed (251 people).

National Identity
- A question on national identity was introduced in the 2011 Census primarily to enable people from minority ethnic
populations to more fully articulate their identity. As the question allowed multiple responses, Table KS202NI (Classification 1)
has been used to report combined responses (for example, British, Irish and Northern Irish), while Table KS203NI (Classification
2) reports statistics for each individual national identity, regardless of whether these options were chosen along with other
national identities. Accordingly, the sum of the proportions in Classification 2 exceeds 100 per cent.

- In 2011, a third (33.3 per cent) of people had a British Only national identity (without selecting any additional national
identities), a quarter (26.8 per cent) had Irish Only and just over a one-fifth had Northern Irish Only (British and Northern Irish
only was the most prevalent (87.8 per cent), while 9.5 per cent of respondents included national identities other than British,
Irish or Northern Irish.

- On the basis of Classification 2, two-fifths (44.0 per cent) of people usually resident in Balmoral DEA in 2011 included British
as a national identity, while 32.3 per cent included Irish and 29.6 per cent included Northern Irish. The proportions who
included English, Scottish or Welsh as a national identity were 1.2 per cent, 0.6 per cent and 0.1 per cent respectively, while
7.7 per cent included Other national identities.

Country of Birth
- The proportion of the usually resident population within Balmoral DEA born outside Northern Ireland rose from 12.9 per cent
(4,110) in April 2001 to 17.7 per cent (5,673) in March 2011. This change was largely as a result of inward migration by people
born in the 12 countries which have joined the European Union (EU) since 2004. These EC accession countries accounted for
3.5 per cent (1117) of people usually resident in Northern Ireland on Census Day 2011, while their share of the 2001 Census
population was 1.0 per cent. The remainder of the population born outside Northern Ireland consisted of 5.2 per cent born
in Great Britain, 2.8 per cent born in the Republic of Ireland, 1.0 per cent born in countries which were EU members before
2004 and 6.3 per cent born elsewhere.

10
Passports Held
- Another new question in 2011 invited respondents to indicate which passports they hold. As this question allowed for
multiple responses, Table KS205N1 (Classification 1) contains information about each passport held, regardless of whether
these were held along with other passports. Accordingly, the sum of the proportions in Classification 1 exceeds 100 per cent.
Table KS206NI (Classification 2) has been used to incorporate combined responses (for example, UK and Ireland Only).

- On Census Day 2011, three-fifths (61.3 per cent) of people usually resident in Balmoral DEA held a passport, and a quarter
(25.3 per cent) held an Ireland passport, while 10.0 per cent held no passport (Classification 1). The top three countries in
other regions for which a passport is held were EU countries passport (3.2 per cent), Middle East and Asia passport (2.6 per
cent), and North America and the Caribbean passport (0.6 per cent).

- Taking into consideration combined responses (Classification 2), 3.2 per cent of people held both UK and Ireland passports
but no other passports.

neighbours or others because of long-term physical or mental ill-health/disabilities or problems related to old age.
Approximately one-tenth (12.0 per cent) of the population of Balmoral DEA provided such unpaid care (compared with 28.1
per cent in 2001), around one-fifth (21.3 per cent) of whom did so for 50 or more hours a week.

Long-term Conditions
- A new question for the 2011 Census asked respondents to indicate whether they had any range of conditions which had
lasted, or which had lasted, or which they expected to last, at least 12 months, regardless of whether these limited their day-
to-day activities. Almost all of people (98.2 per cent) did not have a long-term condition. The most common long-term
conditions among the usually resident population of Balmoral DEA were: Mobility or dexterity difficulty (9.6 per cent); Long-

Background
Print

Select Area: 4
Balmoral DEA

- The 2011 Census was held on 27 March 2011, and involved every household and communal establishment in Northern
Ireland. The Census responses have provided a rich store of statistical information about the population of Northern Ireland.
The questionnaire covered topics in the areas of demography, identity, health, housing, qualifications, labour market
activity, travel to work or study and migration. This report provides the first analyses spanning most of this range of topics.

- The Key Statistics published (11 December 2012) are provided for each of Northern Irelands 26 Local Government Districts
(LGDs), as well as other geographic units that are themselves aggregates of LGDs. Key Statistics for smaller geographic units
will be published in early 2013. Further details are available in the Northern Ireland Census 2011 Output Prospectus.

- Key Statistics mostly provide an analysis of each variable separately. Thus, for example, Key Statistics provides statistics on
the numbers of people by ethnic group for geographic areas within Northern Ireland. Subsequent Census outputs will
provide more detailed statistical profiles for each ethnic group population, in terms of the other variables covered by the
Census. Details of the proposed outputs, and their scheduled publication, can be found in the Northern Ireland Census 2011
Output Prospectus.

- NISRA recognises that the 2011 Census will not have obtained a response from every usual resident. Accordingly, NISRA has
made statistical adjustments to ensure that all statistical output from the 2011 Census represents the complete population of
Northern Ireland. Further details on the methodology to adjust for under-enumeration, and other methodological aspects of
the Census, can be found in the Methodology Overview Paper.

- Many of the questions in the 2011 Census are similar to those used in 2001, and some users may wish to compare statistics
from the 2001 and 2011 Censuses. A paper that summarises the similarities and differences between the 2001 and 2011
Censuses can be viewed here. A further paper, comparing the content of the 2011 Census questionnaires in Northern
Ireland, Scotland and England & Wales will be published in early 2013.

- All figures in this report are reported in a rounded form to emphasise their estimated nature. The underlying unrounded
data can be accessed through the NINIS website, and it is noted that all charts and maps in this report are based on the
unrounded data. Further detail on the quality of Census statistics is provided in supporting papers available on the NISRA
website.

- National Statistics are produced to high professional standards set out in the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. They
undergo regular quality assurance reviews to ensure they meet customer needs. They are produced free from any political
interference. Crown copyright 2012.

- The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the
Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.
Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

meet identified user needs;

are well explained and readily accessible;
are produced according to sound methods, and
are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest.

- Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall
continue to be observed.
