falling, held with strong confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2025.
The crude birth rate in the Isle of Anglesey fell to 7 per thousand residents in 2023, and live births to 486. The general fertility rate was 47 live births per thousand women of childbearing age in 2023 and 49 in 2024, both recorded as falls against the underlying population, while the total fertility rate was 1.41 in 2023 and 1.49 in 2024. Population was 68,873 in 2024. Three measures moved the same way, and the birth count is small.
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.
