Demographics
According to the 2001 census the borough has a population of 181,286. It should be noted that serious doubt has been cast on the accuracy of this figure. Westminster City Council has undertaken several studies which have shown higher populations as part of a campaign (supported by both political parties on the council) to have the population estimate raised, which would increase its grant from the United Kingdom Government. Realistic estimates of the population of Westminster are closer to 220,000. 73% of the population are white, 4% black african and 3% indian. 35% of households are owner-occupiers.Locations and landmarks
