==Population==
[[File:Havering population pyramid.svg|thumb|Population pyramid of the Borough of Havering]]
In 2011, the borough had a population of 237,232 <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/census/2011-census/key-statistics-for-local-authorities-in-england-and-wales/rft-table-ks201ew.xls|title=Key statistics for Local Authorities in England Wales|publisher=Office of National Statistics}}</ref> over {{convert|43|sqmi|km2|1}}. Havering has a lower population density than other London Boroughs as large areas are parkland and {{convert|23|sqmi|km2|0}} (more than half the borough) is [[Metropolitan Green Belt]] protected land. Those areas of development are extensive but rarely intensive. It has, at 4.5%, a below average unemployment rate for Greater London,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/census/2011-census/key-statistics-for-local-authorities-in-england-and-wales/rft-table-ks601ew.xls|title=Key statistics for Local Authorities in England Wales|publisher=Office of National Statistics}}</ref> and one of the lowest crime rates.

Havering has a significantly higher proportion of residents in white ethnic groups than other outer London boroughs (87.7% – [[United Kingdom Census 2011|2011 census]]). The Black African population is the most significant minority ethnic group in Havering (3.2%). The Upminster ward of the borough is the third least ethnically diverse in Greater London, with a [[Diversity index|Simpson's diversity index]] of 1.10.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://data.london.gov.uk/datastorefiles/documents/CIS2013-02-Ethnic-Diversity-Indices-for-Wards.pdf |title=2011 Census Snapshot: Ethnic Diversity Indices for wards|access-date=2014-09-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140906133304/http://data.london.gov.uk/datastorefiles/documents/CIS2013-02-Ethnic-Diversity-Indices-for-Wards.pdf |archive-date=6 September 2014 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
