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	14,278
Can understand spoken Welsh only	416
Can speak, read and write Welsh	741
Can speak but cannot read or write Welsh	136
Can speak and read but cannot write Welsh	60
Can read but cannot speak or write Welsh	103
Can write but cannot speak or read Welsh	19
Can read and write but cannot speak Welsh	60
Can speak and other combinations of skills in Welsh	26
No skills in Welsh	12,717

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