6 North-East Asian
Broad group page for the ASCCEG hierarchy. Use it to move into the correct narrow group before selecting the final cultural and ethnic group code.
What this broad group covers
ASCCEG broad groups are the top layer of the cultural and ethnic group hierarchy. They are used when a response still needs to be placed into the correct major branch before coding can move to a more specific level.
In practical coding work, broad groups are not usually the stopping point. They are the orientation layer above narrow groups and the detailed four-digit group codes.

Frequently asked questions
What is ASCCEG broad group 6?
North-East Asian is a top-level broad group in ASCCEG 2025. It sits above narrow groups and the final cultural and ethnic group records.
Should I classify at the broad group level?
Only when the response is still broad. If the ancestry or ethnic label is known precisely, keep drilling down to the detailed group record.
Why show detailed examples on this page?
Examples make the broad group easier to recognise in practice and help confirm that you are browsing inside the right branch of the classification.
