The question on gender identity was new for Census 2021.  It was a voluntary question only asked of those aged 16 years and over. The question asked “Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?” with 3 answer options of Yes, No or to write in their gender identity.  94.4% of the population aged 16 years and over in Bury answered Yes, which is slightly higher than the 93.5% answering Yes in England and Wales.
