The 2017 census somehow showing some sort of vast shift in population demographics is HIGHLY unlikely, especially considering the fact that immigration levels year-on-year, whilst up since 2011, are not up THAT significantly. And in fact the current figures don't even have a particularly high degree of accuracy because - as you point out yourself - there IS NO DATA AVAILABLE since 2011 and the current immigration stats are estimates that are likely to be revised as soon as the actual data is collated.

There's very little point continuing to argue these points until the 2017 census data is available... but I'm sticking a reminder in my calendar to pop back into this thread when that data is released. I would be willing to bet a decent amount that they show minimal increase in the vast majority of areas.
