Wales Jewish Population Data
|
2001 |
2,256 |
(2001
Census results) |
2011 |
2,064 |
(2011
Census results) |
2021 |
2,044 |
(2021
Census results) |
The above census result figures represent those who
answered the voluntary question 'What is your religion?' by clicking the category
'Jewish' among the eight check-box options (another of which was 'No religion'). However, between 6.0% to
7.7% of the population nationally did not answer the question and the
figure would not have included those who considered themselves Jews by
ethnicity but not by religion, and accordingly the actual number of Jews
would be higher than the figures shown.
