Main information

• Designation: Official statistics
• Data provider 1: Office for National Statistics (ONS)
• Data source 1: Labour Force Survey (LFS)
• Data provider 2: Office for National Statistics (ONS)
• Data source 2: Annual Population Survey (APS)

Overview

• Summary of dataset and variables:

  This dataset provides information on the national identity of people by Welsh local authority.

• Data collection or calculation:

  These data are taken from the Annual Population Survey (APS) for 2005 onwards and the Welsh Local Labour Force Survey (WLLFS) prior to that. These surveys are carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

  The survey asks respondents what they consider to be their national identity. This table combines the non-Welsh groups together in order to increase the reliability of the estimates. Non-Welsh includes: English, Scottish, Irish, British and Other.

• Statistical quality:

  As the data come from a survey, the results are sample-based estimates and therefore subject to differing degrees of sampling variability, i.e. the true value for any measure lies in a differing range about the estimated value. This range or sampling variability increases as the detail in the data increases, for example local authority data are subject to higher variability than regional data.

  Data based on less than 10 survey responses has been suppressed, and data based on less than 40 survey responses has been marked as being of low reliability. Data for 2011 Q1-3 is not available due to changes in questions resulting in discontinuity in the series.

  The local authority and Wales figures for 2001, 2002 and 2003 in these tables may not be the same as published elsewhere, as the numbers here are estimated using Welsh specific weights. These weights better reflect the population estimates for Welsh local authorities in these years.

  Nomis is the ONS's official portal for labour market statistics. Note that some estimates from Nomis for the APS may differ slightly from those presented here due to differences in how local authority geographies are constructed.
