(Financial Times)Â — White Britons no longer make up the majority of people in London for the first time, according to the latest census data which pointed to a cosmopolitan capital increasingly divergent from the national economy around it.
The 2011 data also revealed a population of England and Wales that is generally better educated but less religious than it was a decade ago — and less likely to live in a home that they own.
The total population rose by 3.7m to 56.1m, an increase of 7 per cent from the previous census in 2001. Migration was responsible for 60 per cent of that growth — 2.1m people.
