As you hover over each Senedd constituency, the tooltip shows you the number of people on the electoral roll, percentage of people aged 0-15, aged 16-64 and aged 65+ and the percentage of the population aged 3+ who can speak Welsh.
The table underneath each map shows the same data for Senedd regions and Wales as a whole.

Employment rates refer to a 3-year period, from year ending September 2018 to year ending September 2020. This allows estimates to be produced from a larger sample size making the data more robust.
Median gross weekly earnings estimates use data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) and covers employee jobs in 2020. It does not cover the self-employed or employees not paid during the reference period. Weekly earnings estimates relate to employees on adult rates of pay, whose earnings for the survey pay period were not affected by absence. They are based on place of work rather than based on residence. Estimates for 2020 include employees who have been furloughed under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS).
Claimant count rate data is provisional. It includes out of work Universal Credit claimants as well as Jobseeker's Allowance claimants. As Universal Credit Full Service is rolled out, the number of people recorded as being on the Claimant Count is likely to rise.

The qualifications data is a two-year average for 2018 and 2019. Due to a low number of survey responses, the figures for no qualifications in Montgomeryshire, Gower, Cardiff Central and Cardiff North are of low quality.
NQF is the National Qualification Framework, with level 4 being higher education level or equivalent qualifications.
SEN is Special Educational Needs. Data for SEN and free school meals refers to 2020 and is based on the pupils attending the schools in the area, as opposed to the pupils living in the area. There will be some differences between the two, particularly for the smaller constituency areas.

Figures for longstanding illness are based on two years of data combined (2017-18 and 2018-19). Even so, the sample sizes for some areas are still relatively small and results should be treated with caution. Typically, results are likely to be within +/- 4 percentage points of the figures shown. The results have not been standardised to take account of the different age profiles in each area. Some of the differences between areas will likely be due to different age profiles. Data is composed of Parliamentary rather than Senedd constituencies, though these are identical except Pontypridd and Ogmore, where 3 Output Areas are differently allocated.

The Land Registry Price Paid Data only include records for single residential properties sold for full market value. To avoid systematically biasing house price data, the Land Registry excludes records of sales that were not at full market value. These are not included in the data from the Land Registry and if included, would detract from a meaningful average house price figure. Other exclusions from this house price data are listed on the UK Government website.
