2011). At least 4.5% of the Hackney population is Turkish (derived
from the 2011 Census). These populations are often captured in
White British/White Other, Other Ethnic Group or, for Turkish

Sexual orientation
Disability
We do not have official Hackney level data for sexual
orientation, but the Integrated Household Survey carried out by
the Office for National Statistics for January - December 2012
provided the following results for London and the United
Kingdom.

Heterosexual / Straight
The 2013 GP patient survey indicated that, in Hackney, there
were comparatively high numbers of people who identify as gay
or lesbian (4%) or bisexual (1%), other (2%), a further 11%
preferred not to say. These figures may under-represent the size
of this population, given the problems involved in disclosure of
sexual orientation.
Gender re-assignment
Data on gender re-assignment is not available at a borough
level, but a Home Office funded study for the Gender Identity
Research and Education Society GIRES, estimated there were
1
300,000 – 500,000 transgender people in the UK .
The study quotes from a 2007 report which estimates that 20
people per 100,000 of the UK population had sought medical
care for gender variance – around 10,000 people, of which
8,000, had undergone transition. This equates to around 60
people in Hackney.
