As the demand increases for statistics and data to measure the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to change our data gathering and release practices, focussing efforts on priority analysis and statistics. https://gov.wales/statistics-and-research

General description

This dataset provides population estimates for the local health boards in Wales, for the period from 2009 onwards by sex and single year of age, together with some aggregated age groups.

The mid-2020 population estimates are the first population estimates to show some of the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, these estimates refer to the population as at 30 June 2020, meaning that they only account for the first three months of the pandemic.
Future releases of the population estimates will provide information on the impact from mid-2020 onwards.
It should be noted that there are some definitional changes (particularly affecting the migration components) for mid-2020 compared with mid-2019 populations estimates data and it is advised that users read the Quality and Methodology Information section on the Office for National Statistics website.

Revisions information

The data presented here reflect changes made to population estimates from 2009 to 2010 in re-basing the data to be consistent with the results of the 2011 Census (see weblinks).

Mid-2012 to mid-2016 subnational population estimates for England and Wales were revised on the 22 March 2018, following methodological improvements (see weblinks).

From 1 April 2019, health service provision for residents of Bridgend local authority moved from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg to Cwm Taf. For more information see the joint statement from Cwm Taf and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Boards (see weblinks). The health board names have changed with Cwm Taf University Health Board becoming Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board becoming Swansea Bay University Health Board.
