Census Data

2021 Census Data for England and Wales: Trans* Health

The published figures understate how bad trans* health outcomes are, because trans* people are overrepresented in younger age groups

trans* here means everyone the census counted as having a gender identity different from their sex registered at birth — transgender men, transgender women, nonbinary people, and everyone else who said so. The asterisk is a reminder that the group is wider than transgender men and transgender women. Where a figure is about one of those groups on its own, it says which.

The Census 2021 asked everyone in England and Wales aged 16 or over about their gender identity, and separately about their general health. The published cross-tabulation of the two says that trans* people report worse health than cis people. That is true, but it understates the problem.

This is because trans* people are on average much younger than cis people, and health usually gets worse with age. 48% of the trans* population is under 35, so on age alone, they should look healthier than a cis population. But they don't. This is happening despite a substantial age advantage.

Taking the age effect out needs age, health and gender identity broken down together, which the basic published tables don't offer. The Office for National Statistics' dataset CT21_0298 does this, showing age by general health by gender identity. Here we break down what it shows.

Three populations of very different shapes

These charts show who is in each group. There are three populations: cis people, trans* people, and the 6% of the population who left the voluntary gender identity question blank, which likely contains both cis and trans* people.

The populations are broken down by age groups. The top line of charts shows the absolute scale of each population in comparison to each other, all three on one scale — which is why the trans* bars barely register: cis people outnumber trans* people 173 to one. The second line shows the age distribution as a percent of that population, which is the comparison that matters.

This illustrates that the trans* population is comparatively young: 24% of trans* people are 16 to 24, against 13% of cis people, and the trans* population thins out fast after age 45. The people who skipped the question run the other way — they are the oldest of the three, with 15% aged 75 or over against 10% of cis people.

The gap in health, by age band

Trans* people report bad or very bad health at a higher rate in every age band. The gap is not constant, though, and its shape is the most striking thing in this dataset: it is widest among the young. Trans* 16 to 24 year olds are 4.35 times as likely as cis people of the same age to report bad health. By 75+ the ratio is 1.08 — barely a difference at all.

That gradient does not appear in the ONS's published tables, and it is the opposite of what an ageing effect would normally look like.

The non-responders sit between the two, and consistently above cis people, especially in the older age ranges. That means that the 6% of people who did not answer the gender identity question are, as a group, in worse health than the people who said they were cis — so the people who did not answer were not a random subset of the cis population. Since that group certainly contains trans* people, and since we cannot know how many or which, it is a genuine source of uncertainty in both directions.

The chart below shows bad or very bad health across age. For all three groups, the proportion of people in bad or very bad health increases with age, but the trans* line starts far higher and does not converge until the oldest band. The dashed line is everyone who skipped the question.

Trans* people are not one group, and the differences inside the trans* population are larger than the difference between trans* and cis people overall.

The next chart breaks out the trans* identities that were separately coded by the census. Each trans* identity has its own colour, and is named at the end of its line. Nonbinary people and people reporting other identities have worse health than transgender men and transgender women at every age.

† the line stops where the census counted too few people in the remaining age bands to report a rate.

Transgender men and transgender women track each other closely with those who didn't report a specific identity also following a similar pattern. Nonbinary people and people who described their identity in some other way sit far above both with worse health outcomes at every age where the census counted enough of them to say so.

Age and health together

The difference sits at the good end of the scale too. Among 16 to 24 year olds, 65% of cis people report very good health against 39% of trans* people — 26 percentage points — while the gap in bad or very bad health is 5 points. What is happening is that very good health is also becoming good or fair, as well as people reporting the worst category.

These charts show the breakdown of all five health responses by gender identity by age group. The height of each column is that age band's share of the population for that population, so the columns reproduce the age structure. The stack inside each column splits it by health, with the worst outcomes on the baseline.

Read the columns and you get the age difference. Read the orange at the bottom of each column and you get the health difference. The trans* panel is both younger and, band for band, worse off.

What this data cannot tell you

The census is a good source and a limited one, and the limits matter more than usual here.

  • The question was voluntary. 2,914,625 people aged 16 or over did not answer it. They are shown throughout as their own group, but that group is a mix of cis and trans* people in unknown proportion — it cannot be added to either. Their health is worse than cis people's at every age, so the non-response is clearly not random, and which way it biases the trans* figure is unknowable from this data.
  • ONS classes these as official statistics in development, and has said some respondents may have misread the question, particularly people with lower English proficiency. If that happened, the trans* column contains people who are not trans*, whose health will look more like the general population's — so the effect, if anything, is to dilute the gap shown here rather than to manufacture it. The ONS quality information has the detail.
  • Counts are perturbed to protect anonymity, and the smallest cells are affected most. The census counted 12 nonbinary people aged 75 or over. Nothing on this page draws a conclusion from a cell that small: the identity breakdowns stop where the counts do, and the by-identity age panels are restricted to 16 to 54.
  • Health here is self-reported — one subjective question, not a clinical assessment.
  • This is an association. The data cannot say why the gap exists. Minority stress, discrimination inside healthcare, poverty, the health effects of long waits and refused treatment, and the possibility that poor health affects who answers a voluntary question are all consistent with these numbers. The census cannot separate them.

Further charts

The same constructions as above, broken down by gender identity rather than a single trans* group. These carry the small-count problem, so read them with the caveats in mind — but the differences between identities are large enough to be worth showing.

Who is in each age band. The first chart on the page again, trans* people only: every row is that age band's share of the trans* population, so the rows still add up to the whole, and each bar is split into the five identities the census recorded. The row underneath is all ages together — 100% by construction, so it is drawn to fill the width rather than sharing the bands' scale.
