In the previous five years, Pembrokeshire’s population had increased by 2,400 to 96,530. That was revealed by the 1966 sample census conducted.

For the first time in a census, details on cars and garaging were asked and the replies revealed that of the 29,000 households present at census, 45 per cent had no car, 45 per cent had one car and 10 per cent had two or more cars.
