Ethnic origin refers to the ethnic or cultural group(s) to which the respondents ancestors self-identified. The category
Total Population (single and multiple origins) indicates both those that reported only one origin and those that reported
multiple origins. Therefore respondents with multiple origins are counted more than once and are included in each origin
they reported.
