Thank you for your request. 

We do not hold the requested analysis, and do not currently have plans to produce Census analysis on inter-ethnic relationships. Details of our analysis plans are available here.

In November 2022 we released the ethnic group topic summary, in section 5 you can find information on ethnic group composition within households. Accompanying this release was a dataset relating to multiple ethnic groups in households. This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify households in England and Wales by the diversity in ethnic group of household members in different relationships. These relationships include "ethnic groups differ within partnerships". 

As the data you have requested is not available in either the ready-made multivariate datasets or using the create a custom dataset tool, you may be able to commission a table to your own specifications. 

Please see the commissioned table service page to download a copy of the order form which details the scale of charges for this service. 

On receipt of your completed order form, you will be added to the waiting list. Please note that any table commissioned will have to pass our strict statistical disclosure control process to ensure there is no risk of disclosure of personal information in the table. More information on this process is available here: Design for Census 2021 - Office for National Statistics ons.gov.uk
