The 2022-based projections provide estimates of the size of the future population and are based on assumptions about births, deaths, and migration.
This is the latest release in the series: Subnational population projections
The release provides statistics on the potential future size and age structure of the population of local authorities in Wales. These projections supersede the previous 2018-based projections.
These local authority population projections are based on mid-year population estimates published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) as well as national population projections (ONS).
Projections are available on StatsWales for the 25-year period, from mid-2022 to mid-2047. However, this release focusses on the first 10 years of the projection period as projections tend to become increasingly uncertain in the longer-term, as much may change over that timescale. This is particularly so for detailed age and sex breakdowns.
