Thank you for your request.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) collects ethnic group data for England and Wales, not the whole of the UK.
You may wish to contact National Records of Scotland about population estimates by ethnic group for Scotland and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency about population estimates by ethnic group for Northern Ireland.
Using Nomis we have created the below table using our latest annual mid-year population estimates (mid 2020) which provides population estimates by sex and single year of age for the data you requested.
