I would like to know the actual percentage of Travelers relative to other groups in the U.K.

We said

Thank you for your request for details, from the 2011 Census, of the percentage of Travellers in the United Kingdom relative to other groups.

We do not hold information for the ethnic group category "Traveller".

We have published information at the UK level for the ethnic group "Gypsy / Traveller / Irish Traveller". This is available from the Nomis website on the table KS201UK - Ethnic group:

Please use the 'Query data' button to allow you to refine your search (e.g. percent, ethnic group, geography=UK).

A detailed explanation of how this table was constructed from separate tables for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is outlined on this site. For your convenience we have provided a copy of the table in the associated downloads.

We have published more information on ethnic groups on Nomis (https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/default.asp) for England and Wales. For information relating to Scotland, please contact National Records of Scotland (NRS) (http://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/contact-us) and for Northern Ireland please contact the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) (https://www.nisra.gov.uk/contact).
