Statistics
Key population statistics for Aberystwyth and the county of Ceredigion.
Aberystwyth Population Data
The most recent Census, taken on 29th April 2001, gave the following results for Aberystwyth:
| Ward | Full time students aged 18-74 |
Total Population (including students) |
|---|---|---|
| Aberystwyth Bronglais | 1016 | 1928 |
| Aberystwyth Central | 1029 | 2177 |
| Aberystwyth North | 808 | 1957 |

| Llanbadarn Fawr Padarn | 310 | 1260 |
| Llanbadarn Fawr Sulien | 963 | 1639 |
| Faenor | 745 | 2422 |
| TOTALS: | 5621 | 16928 |
Note that the figure for 'students' could include locals aged 18-74 enrolled in college courses in Aberystwyth as well as those who are part of the University. They also seem rather on the low side - for example, only 745 students in Faenor when this ward includes more than 950 bed spaces in student halls alone!
In general, assume a core population of 12,000. UCAS statistics show exactly how many students are enrolled at Aberystwyth University - normally around 8,000.
