This is notably lower than West Midlands region's figures (71.8%) and national figures (73.5%) and it shows the proportion of Coventry's population who are of White British ethnicity has fallen in the 10 years since the last Census in 2011, when it was 66.6%. It means that Coventry's population is made up of a notably higher percentage of people from ethnic minority groups compared to the national average. The second largest broad ethnic group in Coventry is Asian/Asian British (18.5%), followed by White Other, which includes White Irish, White Gypsy or Irish Traveller, White Roma and White Other White (10.2%).
