Pie Chart

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in Wales by their overall Welsh language skills. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

Summary

Whether a person has Welsh language skills. If they do, can they do any of the following:

* understand spoken Welsh
* speak Welsh
* read Welsh
* write Welsh
* no skills in Welsh

The census questionnaire only asked this question to people in Wales.

In results that classify people by Welsh language skills, a person may appear in more than one category depending on which combination of skills they have.

Welsh language skills: Total: All usual residents aged 3 years and over	25,538
Can understand spoken Welsh only	1,424
Can speak, read and write Welsh	2,490
Can speak but cannot read or write Welsh	534
Can speak and read but cannot write Welsh	264
Can read but cannot speak or write Welsh	314
Can write but cannot speak or read Welsh	51
Can read and write but cannot speak Welsh	159
Can speak and other combinations of skills in Welsh	54
No skills in Welsh	20,248

These values are calculated by adding up the values for census output areas contained within Rhyl. They may, therefore, be slightly inaccurate due to administrative boundaries not precisely aligning with census boundaries.
