A changing city

Leicester has undergone many changes since the 2001 census.

A comparison of the 2011 census findings shows that the city:  

• is now the most populated urban centre in the region
• is a more youthful place
• has become even more diverse
• has fewer marriages
• has fewer senior citizen households
• has more private housing rentals
• has more overcrowding
• has fewer households with no adults in employment
• has fewer adults without qualifications
• has less economic inactivity
• has a lower rate of unpaid care. 

The 2011 census has more information about caring and earning, diversity and migration and quality of life. You can download the documents below.
