The response to the question on ethnic group indicates a substantial increase in the largest ethnic minority group in Bury representing almost a doubling in the size of the Pakistani community.
For the first time in a national Census a question was asked about religion, although it was a voluntary question and this may have affected the outcome. The Jewish community in Bury was the largest in Greater Manchester and 7th largest in England and Wales, although previous estimates of the size of this community have been substantially higher.
