According to the 2021 Census data, 4.0% of the population of England and Wales identified as black, which is equivalent to 2.4 million people. This includes people who identified as "Black, Black British, Caribbean or African". However, it is important to note that the UK population is not limited to England and Wales, and the percentage of black people in the entire UK population may differ. According to a Wikipedia article, black residents constituted around 3% of the UKs population in 2011, and this number increased to just over 1.9 million in 2011.
