falling, held with strong confidence, formed on 5 October 2026 from movements in 2025.
Crude birth rate in Isle of Anglesey has been falling, and the view is held strongly. The crude birth rate was 7 in 2023, the general fertility rate (GFR) 47 and live births 486, each recorded as falling against the usual pattern for its year, with the general fertility rate (GFR) at 49 in 2024 also falling. The total fertility rate (TFR) stood at 1.41 in 2023 and 1.49 in 2024, and population at 68,873 in 2024. Four falling readings across two consecutive years, covering both the rate and the count of births, is what makes this view strong.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about Isle of Anglesey. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.

These figures carry no defensible direction of their own: a rising house price is good news to an owner and bad news to someone trying to buy, so we do not score one as an improvement. They are shown because they are part of the picture, and they did not decide the view above.
