Local Authority population projections

There is a high level of interest in population and migration data for Wales, and so a strong demand for projections at the local authority level. Those who plan for the future, to deliver services and to help frame sustainable policies, need to consider the population by age and sex. Population projections provide estimates of the size of the future population and are based on assumptions about births, deaths and migration.
