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 ethnicity of people by Welsh local authority.

  The percentage of people who are Black, Asian and minority ethnic is calculated based on only those who responded to the question.

• 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 ethnic origin. This table combines some ethnic groups into the “Black, Asian and minority ethnic” category in order to increase the reliability of the estimates. This category includes:

  • Mixed/multiple ethnic groups
  • Asian/Asian British
  • Black/African/Caribbean/Black British
  • Chinese
  • Arab
  • Other ethnic group
• 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.

  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.
