Notes: MELAA, Middle Eastern, Latin American and African. Random rounding to base three according to confidentiality requirements may cause some totals to not perfectly add up. Distribution column percentages add up to more than 100% because some individuals will identify with more than one ethnic group. Note different age structures will influence the ethnicity comparisons in this table and have not been adjusted for in this descriptive table (Ssee figure 1).
