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	4,913
Can understand spoken Welsh only	434
Can speak, read and write Welsh	2,365
Can speak but cannot read or write Welsh	339
Can speak and read but cannot write Welsh	150
Can read but cannot speak or write Welsh	51
Can write but cannot speak or read Welsh	11
Can read and write but cannot speak Welsh	16
Can speak and other combinations of skills in Welsh	17
No skills in Welsh	1,530

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