Eurasians were returned to the number of 389 males and 448 females, totalling S37 only. Most local Eurasians are brought up as Chinese and would claim to be Chinese.
Local Portuguese (that is, those born in Hong Kong, Macao or China) number 1,503 males and 1,695 females, a total of 3,198. In 1911 the total was 2,558. It is noteworthy that Kowloon is now the home of two-thirds of the people of this race. It will be seen from the previous list that only 16 males and 16 females of the resident population claim to be Portuguese born in Portugal.
The number of Indians is, of course, high on account of the presence of Indian troops and Police. There are 3,475 Indians, 2,719 males and 756 females, in the Civilian population and 1,270 in the Indian army stationed in the Colony. In 1911 the total was 2,012 civilians.
The Japanese resident population totals 1,833 persons, 996 males and 837 females. The presence of Japanese shipping in port on Census night increased the total to 2,205. In 1911 the total was only 958, but it was stated to have increased to 1,585 in 1921.
