After decades of numerical decline, the Jewish population of England and Wales has stabilised

Dr David Graham Dr Jonathan Boyd Daniel Vulkan

What's in the report:

The first report in our series on the 2011 UK Census, based on data released by the Office for National Statistics. After decades of numerical decline, the Jewish population of England and Wales has stabilised, although this masks a complex picture of change at the local level.

The research team at JPR is engaged in a long-term project to investigate Census data as they are released. They provide an extraordinarily detailed view of the British Jewish population and are being used to support the work of Jewish charities throughout the country. 

Our reports are free to download

However, they are not free to produce, and as a registered charity, JPR relies on the generosity of donors to undertake its work. Please consider making a donation to help cover the costs of this particular report or to support JPR’s work more generally.
