Area Profiles

The Local Area Profiles and Ceredigion Area Profile provide a snapshot of data and information about the different areas and communities within and across Ceredigion. The Area Profiles are based on the results from the 2021 Census, undertaken by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on the 21st of March 2021. The Local Area Profiles are based on two geographies:

1. Electoral Wards (administrative geographies): There are 34 electoral wards within Ceredigion. These are the official divisions used for local government elections and represent the boundaries for council services and governance
2. Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) (statistical geographies): There are 45 LSOAs within Ceredigion. LSOAs are a set of small area geographies, which comprise between 400 and 1,200 households and usual have a resident population between 1,000 and 3,000 persons. They are used primarily for statistical purposes

In addition, there is a Ceredigion Area Profile, which provides a snapshot of the local authority as a whole:
