This release provides information on the Welsh speaking ability of the population aged 16 years or older by their self-reported sexual orientation and gender identity from Census 2021.
This is not the latest release in the series: Census of population
On 5 September 2024, Emma Rourke, Deputy National Statistician, wrote to Ed Humpherson (Office for National Statistics (ONS)), Head of the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR), to request that the gender identity estimates from Census 2021 are no longer accredited official statistics and are classified as official statistics in development. The change in designation was confirmed by OSR on 12 September 2024. To reflect this change in designation, the accredited official statistics logo has been removed from this release.
On 6 December 2022, we published a statistical bulletin summarising the initial results from Census 2021 on the Welsh language in Wales. We have since used Census data to publish topic summaries on the Welsh language by population characteristics, Welsh language composition of households and Welsh language transmission rates by sex.
The ONS recently published data tables on the Welsh language skills of the population living in Wales by sexual orientation (ONS) and gender identity (ONS) from Census 2021. This statistical release summarises these results.
