Our 'Create a custom dataset' tool enables users to make their own datasets combining Census 2021 variables. The associated download provides the number of usual residents whose ethnic group was Indian or Pakistani in England and Wales. 

Although the censuses are traditionally held on the same day, we are only responsible for the census in England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland conduct their own. To obtain similar data for Northern Ireland and Scotland to aggregate a UK figure, you will need to contact their statistical offices:
