This chart shows the internet usage in the Southwest by ethnicity. Internet usage is defined as the percentage of people aged 16+ who have used the internet in the last 3 months) (GOV.UK, 2021). There was no data available for Asian, Black or other ethnicities which makes this data hard to interpret. However, we can conclude that 92.3% of all people in the Southwest have accessed the internet in the last 3 months. 4,014 white people (92%) have also been able to do this.

This graph shows the types of passports held by different ethnicities in the South West. It is important to note that the values have been created using a logarithmic scale. This means that instead of increasing by 1 unit each interval, the gap between intervals is much larger at the higher end. This makes the graph easier to visualise. We can see that over 3 million white people own a United Kingdom passport only whilst 719,492 white people own no passport at all. Only 1 person of Black descent owned a UK and Ireland Passport but 36,333 black people owned a UK only passport.
