===Population===
Pembrokeshire's population was 122,439 at the 2011 census,<ref name="UKCensusData"/> increasing marginally to 123,400 at the 2021 census. 66.4 per cent of residents were born in Wales, while 27.5 per cent were born in England.<ref name="Census2021"/>

===Language===
The 2021 census recorded that Welsh is spoken by 17.2 per cent of the population, a fall from 19.2 per cent in 2011.<ref name="Census2021"/> As a result of differential immigration over hundreds of years, such as the influx of Flemish people,<ref name="BBCLegaciesFlemish"/> the south of the county has fewer Welsh-speaking inhabitants (about 15 per cent) than the north (about 50 per cent). The rough line that can be drawn between the two regions, illustrated by the map, is known as the [[Landsker Line]], and the area south of the line has been termed "[[Little England Beyond Wales]]". The first objective, statistically based description of this demarcation was made in the 1960s,<ref name="John1972"/>{{rp|7&ndash;29}} but the distinction was remarked upon as early as 1603 by [[George Owen of Henllys]].<ref name="Owen1994"/> A 21st century introduction of Welsh place names for villages which had previously been known locally only by their English names has caused some controversy.<ref name="WT26Jun2018"/>
