Metadata

General description

These datasets are part of the 'Population and household estimates for Wales: Census 2021', the first release of results from the Census 2021 of population for Wales and England.

Figures may differ slightly in future releases because of the impact of removing rounding and applying further statistical processes.

A household is:
• One person living alone: or
• A group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room or dining area
A household must have at least one usual resident at the address. A group of short-term residents living together or a group of visitors staying at an address is not classified as a household.

A usual resident of Wales is anyone who was living or staying in Wales for 12 months or
more on Census Day, 21 March 2021, or who had a permanent address in Wales and was staying outside Wales for less than 12 months.
