Foreword
Results from the Census are made possible by the co-operation of the public in responding to the Census; by the hard work of the Census field-staff; and by the assistance of many other people and organisations that have supported all aspects of the Census. The Registrar General would like to thank all those who have contributed to the Census.

Introduction
This Report comprises tables containing results on the Welsh language from the 2001 Census. It is published under the authority of, and to meet the requirements of, Section 4(1) of the Census Act 1920. It has also been made available on the National Statistics website www.statistics.gov.uk.
The tables in this Report form only a small part of the results from the 2001 Census: for details of further results to be published see Further results from the 2001 Census below.
Information in this report Boundaries
This Report presents Census results for a range of geographical areas, including Communities, Unitary Authorities, National Assembly Regional Committee Areas and Wales as a whole. The boundaries of all areas are those legally in place at the end of 2002.
Questions included in the Census
The results are derived from the information collected from the Census forms. Specimen copies of the Census forms are available on the National Statistics website. All questions included in the 1991 Census were included in the 2001 Census with the exception of questions relating to usual address and whereabouts on Census night (see Populations covered in this report). However, the response categories in some questions, such as ethnic group, were updated. There were also new questions on general health, the provision of unpaid care, time since last paid employment, the size of work force at place of work, supervision of employees, lowest floor level of accommodation and a voluntary question on religion.
The Census questions that were asked of all people in Wales covered:
• sex, date of birth and marital status;
• relationship to others in the household (where applicable);
• whether schoolchild/student;
• country of birth;
• ethnic group;
• religion (voluntary);
• health;
• provision of unpaid care; and
• Welsh language.
The question on Welsh language was not asked of people outside Wales.
Additionally, questions for those aged 16 – 74 covered (where applicable):
• qualifications and professional qualifications;
• economic activity and employment status;
• number of employees at place of work;
• occupation and industry of employment;
• address of workplace;
• means of travel to work; and
• hours worked.
In addition, the person filling in the form in each household was asked a number of questions about the household’s accommodation:
• type of accommodation and whether self- contained;
• number of rooms;
• availability of bath/shower and toilet;
• lowest floor level;
• presence of central heating;
• availability of cars or vans;
• tenure; and
• landlord (where applicable).
Results presented
This Report brings together a variety of Census results on Welsh language skills in tables for a range of geographical areas. Corresponding tables for other geographies are available in other Census products. More information on this is provided in Appendix B.
Tables KS25 and the supplementary table on Welsh language skills provide information for Unitary Authorities, National Assembly Regional Committee Areas, and Wales as a whole. Areas are listed in broadly geographical order (North West to South East) in their place in this hierarchy.
The Welsh Language Profile (WLP01) provides information for Communities, Unitary Authorities, National Assembly Regional Committee Areas, and Wales as a whole.
Unitary Authorities and National Assembly
Regional Committee Areas are listed in broadly
geographical order, with Communities listed
Introduction Census 2001: Report on the Welsh language
alphabetically under their Unitary Authority.
Where Communities have less than 100 residents or 40 households, they have been amalgamated with neighbouring Communities within the same Unitary Authority for the purposes of presenting results, and are listed under the amalgamated name. See Notes to Tables for more information.
Explanations of terms used in tables are provided in the Glossary. Where a particular explanation is required within a table, this is indicated by a numbered footnote marker and the information is provided in a footnote to the table.
More information about the terms used in tables, comparability with the 1991 Census, the Census questions, and response and imputation rates will be made available on the National Statistics website and published in other reports, as described in Further results from the 2001 Census.
Populations covered in this report Each table in this Report relates to a group of people or households, referred to as the ‘table population’. Many tables relate to the population
‘All people’, but other tables relate to subsets of
‘All people’, such as ‘People in employment aged 16 – 74’, or to distinct populations such as ‘All households’.
People
In the 2001 Census information was collected only on usual residents. This contrasts to the 1991 Census which collected information on both usual residents and visitors on Census night. A usual resident is generally defined as someone who spends most of their time residing at that address. It includes:
• People who usually live at that address but are temporarily away from home (on holiday, visiting friends or relatives, or temporarily in a hospital or similar establishment) on Census Day.
• People who work away from home for part of the time, or are members of the Armed Forces.
• Students if it is their term-time address
• A baby born before 30th April even if it is still in hospital.
• People present on Census Day, even if temporarily, who have no other usual address.
However, it does not include:
• Anyone present on Census Day who has another usual address.
• Anyone who has been living or intends to live in a special establishment such as a residential home, nursing home or hospital for six months or more.
Households
A household is defined as one person living alone, or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address with common housekeeping - that is, sharing either a living room or sitting room or at least one meal a day.
Communal establishments
A communal establishment is defined as an establishment providing managed residential accommodation. ‘Managed’ means full-time or part-time supervision of the accommodation.
In most cases (for example, prisons, large hospitals, hotels) communal establishments can be easily identified. Identification is less easy with small hotels, guest houses and sheltered accommodation. Special rules apply in these cases:
• Small hotels and guest houses are treated as communal establishments if they have the capacity to have 10 or more guests, excluding the owner/manager and his/her family.
• Sheltered housing is treated as a
communal establishment if less than half the residents possess their own facilities for cooking. If half or more possess their own facilities for cooking (regardless of use) the whole establishment is treated as separate households.
More information on the definition of table populations can be found in the Glossary contained in this Report.
Quality of the results
Methods known as the ‘One Number Census’
(see Background information on the 2001 Census) were used to ensure that the results of the 2001 Census cover the entire population of England and Wales, and are the most reliable achievable.
However, there are a number of sources of potential error in the results. These include:
• ‘Incorrect’ information provided on the forms.
• Sampling error related to estimates derived through the One Number Census process.
• Errors introduced during processing and
imputation.
Census 2001: Report on the Welsh language Introduction
Some elements of ‘incorrect’ information were corrected during the edit process (see Background information on the 2001 Census).
Following this, the figures were subjected to an extensive quality assurance process, including checks against administrative records and sources of information on particular groups such as students and the Armed Forces.
As the Census results, which incorporate an adjustment for under-enumeration through the One Number Census methodology, are estimates based partly on a sample survey, sampling errors can be used as a guide in assessing the accuracy of the results. The sampling error can be used to construct a 95 per cent confidence interval - that is a range in which the user can be 95 per cent confident that the true value lies. For the population of Wales, this confidence interval is 2,903,085 +/- 20,300 (0.7 per cent of the estimated population). An important aspect of the One Number Census methodology is that the estimates are unbiased - that is, that they are not systematically above or below the true value.
Further information on coverage and imputation rates for individual questions is available from the National Statistics website.
Overall response rates, and estimates of
sampling errors, for Local Authority Districts are also available on the website. A detailed report covering a range of aspects of quality of the Census results will be published in 2004.
Comparison of results with those from the 1991 Census
Caution must be exercised when comparing the results of the 2001 Census with those of the 1991 Census as such comparison is affected by three factors.
Changes in definition
There are a number of differences in definitions and information collected between the 1991 and 2001 Census. More information on this will be made available in the 2001 Census Definitions volume.
Changes in the geographic base
Changes in geographic boundaries between 1991 and 2001 may mean that results which apparently relate to the same named area actually relate to different boundaries. Information on such boundary changes is available at www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/ward_
history.asp on the National Statistics website.
Adjustment for under-enumeration
As noted above, results of the 2001 Census have been adjusted, via the One Number Census process, to account for under-enumeration.
As results of the 1991 Census were not subject to the same methodology, direct comparisons with the 1991 results must be undertaken with caution.
Where comparisons between the 1991 and 2001 Census results are required, the effects of the above changes are in most cases minimal but can be further mitigated by comparing differences between percentages calculated from the respective bases in each census rather than measuring the percentage difference between the actual counts at each Census.
Other Censuses in the UK
Separate Censuses were carried out, on the same day and using similar methodologies, in Scotland and Northern Ireland, under the authority of the respective devolved administration and Registrars General.

Notes: 1. The term ‘area’ refers to the particular area level being shown in the table. So, in the case of a table for a ward, this will mean the term ‘area’ translates to the name of the ward.
2. One year ago is one year before Census day (29 April 2001).
3. ‘One or more skills in Welsh’ means one or more of the following: understanding spoken Welsh; speaking Welsh; reading Welsh; writing Welsh.
4. Where this table presents results for an Electoral Division, the ‘associated area’ is the respective Unitary Authority. Where this table presents results for other areas, the
‘associated area’ is Wales.

Notes: 1. The term ‘area’ refers to the particular area level being shown in the table. So, in the case of a table for a ward, this will mean the term ‘area’ translates to the name of the ward. 2. One year ago is one year before Census day (29 April 2001). 3. A Welsh speaking household is defined as a household in which one or more people speaks Welsh. 4. Where this table presents results for an Electoral Division, the ‘associated area’ is the respective Unitary Authority. Where this table presents results for other areas, the ‘associated area’ is Wales. 5. ‘Partly moving households’ include households where no household member had a usual address one year ago.
