Understanding the UK's changing ethnic geographies

The UK’s population, households and neighbourhoods are becoming increasingly ethnically and racially mixed and diverse. Alongside these demographic changes, the uneven impacts of, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic and austerity measures have shone a light on persistent ethnic and racial disadvantages, between people and across local areas.
Where, and why, are neighbourhoods becoming more ethnically diverse?
What are the processes that shape these local patterns?
Have ethnic inequalities widened, and what is the geography of disadvantage?
We are answering these, and related, questions through an innovative integration of previously disparate research strands on ethnic diversity, residential segregation, ethnic inequalities, and internal migration.
