The first part of this document will detail the ethnic minority population of Kent and Medway as a whole, showing numbers and percentages of those who are of Asian, Black, Chinese, Eastern European, Mixed and Other White ethnicity in each of the electoral wards in the county.
The following section will look at ethnicity in each Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) within Kent and Medway. Ethnicity is broken down by age group, economic activity, by the percentage of the ethnic minority population born outside of the UK and by the percentage change in ethnic minority population since the Census in 2001.
Kent and Medway
The ethnic population of Kent and Medway is 198453, 11.4% of the entire population. This has increased from the 2001 Census when the ethnic population was 6.2% (97,672 persons). Table 1 shows that the majority of the ethnic population are Other Whites, which includes Irish Whites.

The map shows relatively high numbers of ethnic minorities in the Canterbury, Gravesham, Dartford and Medway areas, particularly around the town centres. Map 2 shows that there are seven electoral wards in which ethnic minorities make up more than 30% of the overall population. These are Town (Dartford LA), Northfleet North, Pelham, Central, Riverside (all in Gravesham LA), Chatham Central (Medway UA) and Blean Forest (Canterbury LA).

The overall population of Kent and Medway has increased by 9.4% in the ten years since 2001; however, the ethnic minority population has increased by 103.2% in the same period.
The maps on the following pages show the numbers and percentage of different ethnic groups across Kent and Medway. It should be noted that grouping several ethnic minorities together in the following way has derived these groups:
Ethnic Asians consists of all Asian, Asian British groups. Ethnic Blacks is made up of all Black, African, Caribbean, Black British groups. Ethnic Chinese comprises of Chinese, Black and Chinese, White and Chinese and South Asian and Chinese Mixed ethnic consists of all mixed races people; for example, Black and Asian, Black and White, White African etc. Eastern Europeans are defined as: White Eastern European, Mixed Eastern European, Asian Eastern European and Other Eastern European Other White is made up from: White Irish and all other White categories (for example, White Afghan, White Bosnian).

Map 4
Maps 3 and 4 look at the Asian population across Kent and Medway. Map 3 shows that the wards containing the highest numbers of Asians are mainly in the Gravesham, Dartford and Medway areas, as well as Folkestone Cheriton ward. The ward with the largest percentage population of Asians is Pelham (Dartford LA), with 25%.
The numbers and percentages of ethnic blacks in Kent and Medway are shown in maps 5 and 6. Again, the numbers are concentrated in wards close to London in the Dartford and Gravesham Local Authorities. Medway wards also have relatively high numbers of ethnic blacks, as does Blean Forest where the University of Kent is.
Joyce Green in Dartford has the highest percentage of ethnic blacks making up the overall population, with just over 8%. Just over 6% of the populations of Littlebrook, Town (both Dartford LA) and Riverside (Gravesham LA) wards are comprised of ethnic blacks. Four wards have no ethnic blacks; Boughton Monchelsea and Chart Sutton (Maidstone LA), Capel-le-Ferne (Dover), Penshurst, Fordcombe and Chiddingstone (Sevenoaks) and Frittenden and Sissinghurst (Tunbridge Wells).

Maps 7 and 8 show the numbers and percentages of ethnic Chinese in the overall population. Map 7 shows a high number of ethnic Chinese in the Canterbury area, and in other wards spread across Kent and Medway. The percentage of ethnic Chinese in the Blean Forest (Canterbury LA) ward is much higher than in other wards in Kent and Medway at nearly 6%. Harbledown (Canterbury LA) has the next highest percentage at nearly 3%. Canterbury also has high percentages of ethnic Chinese in several other wards to the south of Blean Forest.

Maps 9 and 10 show the numbers and percentages of Eastern Europeans across Kent and Medway. High numbers of Eastern Europeans are found in Dartford, Gravesham, Medway, Folkestone, Canterbury, Dover and Thanet wards. Cliftonville West (Thanet LA) has the highest percentage population of Eastern Europeans, at nearly 9%. Pelham and Riverside (Gravesham LA) have the next highest percentages, at 5% and 3% respectively.
The distribution of Mixed Race ethnics are shown on maps 11 and 12. Numbers of mixed race ethnics are above 275 in several wards in Medway, and in Westgate ward in Canterbury LA. High percentages of Mixed Race ethnics are found in wards in Dartford, Gravesham, Medway and Canterbury authorities in general. Blean Forest (Canterbury LA) has the highest percentage of Mixed Race ethnics in Kent and Medway at approximately 4%. Three other wards have over 3% Mixed Race ethnics: Rochester West (Medway UA), Joyce Green and Littlebrook (both Dartford LA). Map 11

Maps 13 and 14 show the numbers and percentages of Other White ethnics across Kent and Medway. High numbers are found in the Gravesham, Medway and Canterbury areas as well as Culverden (Tunbridge Wells), Cliftonville West (Thanet LA) and Fant and High Street wards in Maidstone LA.
Cliftonville West (Thanet LA) has the highest percentage of Other White ethnics, at just over 20%, with the next highest ward being Pelham (Gravesham LA) at 13%. Canterbury has a cluster of wards with above 10% of the population comprised of Other White ethnics.
Brief overview of Kent and Medway Ethnicity
Areas with the highest percentage of ethnic minority groups tend to be towards the North side of the county; Dartford, Gravesham and Medway. There are many wards in these areas where the ethnic population is above 10% of the overall population, and in some wards this is over 30%. Canterbury also has fairly high numbers of ethnic minority members, particularly around the University. The South of the County appears to have the lowest percentages of ethnic population; in many wards the figure is less than 5%.

The lowest percentage of ethnics in the overall population is in Swale CCG, at 7.4%.
Ethnicity in CCGs
Ashford CCG
Ashford CCG has an ethnic minority population of just below 13,000, approximately 10.5% of the overall population (Table 5). The following maps (15-19) show the percentage ethnic minorities, split into age bands, resident in Ashford CCG. The age bands used are as follows: 0-15 (children), 16-24 (young adults), 25-64 (adults of working age), 65-74 (older people), and 75+ (elderly people). Map 15

Map 20 (below) shows the percentage of the ethnic population who were born outside of the UK. The wards encompassing the town of Ashford have the highest percentage of ethnics born outside of the UK, with five wards having a percentage of over 74%.
Map 20
Map 21
Map 21 shows the electoral wards with the highest percentage of economically inactive ethnics, and they tend to be the wards which contained high numbers of older people. Map 22
The wards with the highest percentage increase in ethnic minority population are mainly those surrounding Ashford town centre. Only one ward has a decrease in ethnic minority population, which is Wye ward.
Canterbury and Coastal CCG
Canterbury and Coastal CCG has the third highest percentage of ethnic minority residents across Kent and Medway at 10.9%. This equates to nearly 22,000 people (Table 5). The following maps (23-27) show the percentage ethnic minorities, split into age bands, resident in Canterbury and Coastal CCG. The age bands used are as follows: 0-15 (children), 16-24 (young adults), 25-64 (adults of working age), 65-74 (older people), and 75+ (elderly people).

Map 26
Map 27
The above maps show that the younger ethnic population tend to live closer to Canterbury city centre, particularly in the age 16-24 category. This may be due to the student population at the University of Kent. The older population tend to live nearer the coast, in Reculver, Tankerton and Chestfield and Swalecliffe wards.
Tables 8 and 9 detail the numbers and percentages of each ethnic minority group in each of Canterbury and Coastal CCG’s electoral wards.

Map 28
Map 28 shows the percentage of ethnic minority members who were born outside of the UK. Four wards have over 71% of ethnic minorities born outside of the UK; these wards are mainly centred around the city of Canterbuy, except Boughton and Courtenay Ward. Map 29
The highest percentage of ethnic minority members (above 50%) who are economically inactive again tend to be in the electoral wards surrounding Canterbury; Harbledown, Blean Forest and St Stephens. This may be due to the large numbers of overseas students who attend the University.
Map 30 shows that the greatest percentage increase in ethnic population has occurred in wards close to the city centre; Wincheap, Westgate and Northgate wards, as well as Abbey ward and Marshside ward. Map 30
Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley CCG
Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley CCG has the highest percentage of ethnic minority residents, at 17.4% (Table 5). This equates to just over 46,000 residents of ethnic minority background. The following maps (31-35) show the percentage ethnic minorities, split into age bands, resident in Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley CCG. The age bands used are as follows: 0-15 (children), 16-24 (young adults), 25-64 (adults of working age), 65-74 (older people), and 75+ (elderly people). Map 31
Table 32
Map 33
Map 34
Map 35
Maps 31-35 suggest that the younger and working age ethnic population tend to live in the electoral wards nearer London; such as Joyce Green, Castle, Pelham and Greenhithe wards. The older generations tend to occupy the wards further away from London, particularly in the 75+ age category.

Tables 10 and 11 above detail the numbers and percentages of ethnic minority members who live in each electoral ward.
Map 36 belows shows the percentage of ethnic minority members in each ward who were born outside of the UK. Again, the wards with the higher percentages tend to be the ones which border London; Town, Newtown, Stone, Pelham, Central and Riverside wards all have at least 60% of their ethnic population born outside of the UK. Map 36
Map 37
Map 37 above shows that the wards with the highest percentages (over 33%) of economically inactive ethnic members were Crockenhill and Well Hill, Shorne, Cobham and Luddesdown and Istead Rise wards. These wards all had fairly high percentages of the older ethnic population living in them (maps 34 and 35).
Map 38
The wards with the highest percentage increase in ethnic minority population are those nearest London, with many wards experiencing an increase of over 115%, and in some cases over 180%. These wards also tend to be the ones with the higher rates of the younger ethnic population (Maps 31-33).
Medway CCG
Medway CCG has the second highest percentage (14.1%) of ethnic minority population across Kent and Medway (Table 5), just under 39,000 people. The following maps (39-43) show the percentage ethnic minorities, split into age bands, resident in Medway CCG. The age bands used are as follows: 0-15 (children), 16-24 (young adults), 25-64 (adults of working age), 65-74 (older people), and 75+ (elderly people).

The above maps show that the majority of 16-24 year old ethnics live in the River, Gillingham South and Gillingham North wards, close to where the university is. This is opposite to the older population, who are located in the wards towards the outskirts of Medway CCG rather than the centre of it.

The wards which contain a high percentage of ethnics who were born outside of the UK are again located around the university area, perhaps representing students who come from overseas to study. The wards with over 65% of ethnics born outside of the UK are River, Gillingham South and Chatham Central.
Map 45 below shows that the two wards with over 37% of ethnic members economically inactive are River and Gillingham North, perhaps due to the student population. Other wards with high levels of economic inactivity among ethnic populations are the ones which contained high levels of older people; such as, Cuxton and Halling, Rainham Central and Rainham South. Map 45
Map 46
Map 46 shows that the following wards have a large percentage increase (over 230%) in ethnic minority population; River, Gillingham North, Gillingham South, Luton and Wayfield and Chatham Central wards.
South Kent Coast CCG
South Kent Coast CCG has the second lowest percentage of ethnic population across Kent and Medway at 8.3% (Table 5). There are just over 16,000 ethnic minority residents in South Kent Coast CCG. The following maps (47-51) show the percentage ethnic minorities, split into age bands, resident in South Kent Coast CCG. The age bands used are as follows: 0-15 (children), 16-24 (young adults), 25-64 (adults of working age), 65-74 (older people), and 75+ (elderly people).

There are high percentages (over 78%) of the ethnic population who were born outside of the UK in a number of the wards in South Kent Coast; St Magaret’s at Cliffe, Town and Pier, Folkestone Harvey Central, Folkestone Cheriton, Hythe East and Folkestone Sandgate. There is a large number of Ghurkas stationed in Folkestone, who have bought their families with them.
Map 53
There is a high percentage of economically inactive ethnics towards the South end of South Kent Coast CCG, and in the Town and Pier and Aylesham wards.
Map 54 shows that many of the wards around Folkestone and Dover have had a large percentage increase in ethnic minority population between 2001 and 2011. Two wards have had a percentage decrease in ethnic population; Lympne and Stanford and Folkestone Sandgate wards. Map 54
Swale CCG
Swale CCG has the lowest percentage of ethnic minority groups across Kent and Medway in the overall population at 7.4% (Table 5). This represents just over 7,000 people. The following maps (55-59) show the percentage ethnic minorities, split into age bands, resident in Swale CCG. The age bands used are as follows: 0-15 (children), 16-24 (young adults), 25- 64 (adults of working age), 65-74 (older people), and 75+ (elderly people). Map 55
