Annual Population Survey - Frequency of speaking Welsh by local authority and year
Metadata
This dataset provides information on how often people aged 3 or older say that they speak Welsh, by local authority. These percentages sum to the total percentage who report being able to speak Welsh.
Quarterly
2007 to 2023
Figures are rounded to the nearest 100 and so there may be some apparent slight discrepancies between the sum of constituent items and the totals as shown.
Welsh speakers, language, frequency
As the data come from a survey, the results are sample-based estimates and therefore subject to differing degrees of sampling variability, i.e. the true value for any measure lies in a differing range about the estimated value. This range or sampling variability increases as the detail in the data increases, for example local authority data are subject to higher variability than regional data.
