Description
Data
Bar Chart
Pie Chart

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

Summary

This classifies a person as being able to "Speak Welsh". They may have also ticked one or more of the following:

* understand spoken Welsh
* read Welsh
* write Welsh

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 speaking ability: Total: All usual residents aged 3 years and over	14,826
Cannot speak Welsh	13,528
Can speak Welsh	1,298

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