Overview

• Summary of dataset and variables:

  The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) is the official measure of relative deprivation for small areas in Wales. The 2019 edition ranks all 1,909 Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs defined after Census 2011) from most (rank 1) to least (rank 1,909) deprived. It combines 47 indicators grouped under 8 domains which have the following weights in the overall index: Income (22%), Employment (22%), Health (15%), Education (14%), Access to Services (10%), Housing (7%), Community Safety (5%), and Physical Environment (5%). WIMD produces domain ranks and an overall index to identify areas with the highest concentrations of multiple types of deprivation. Most of the indicator values are also published on StatsWales. Please see the WIMD 2019 guidance report and technical report for more information.

  This table contains the number and percentage of LSOAs in each deprivation group, in each economic region.

• Data collection or calculation:

  There are three main components of the 2019 index:

  • the 47 underlying indicator datasets
  • ranks for the 8 separate domains (or types) of deprivation, created by combining relevant indicators within each domain
  • overall WIMD ranks, created by combining the domain ranks

  All these components are calculated for each of the small areas (Lower layer Super Output Areas or LSOAs) in Wales and published. The way the indicators and domains are combined is designed to reliably distinguish between areas at the most deprived end of the distribution, but not at the least deprived end. This means that differences between the least deprived areas in Wales are less well defined than differences between the more deprived areas. To compare larger geographies, you can consider the proportion of small areas in a larger geography which are in the most deprived (say) 10% of areas in Wales. For example, if an area has more than 10% of its small areas in the most deprived 10% in Wales it can be considered relatively deprived. If it has fewer than 10%, then it can be considered relatively less deprived.

  We publish WIMD 2019 deprivation profiles for selected larger geographies, which provide numbers and percentages of LSOAs within a larger geography which are in these categories of deprivation:

  • 10% most deprived
  • 20% most deprived
  • 30% most deprived
  • 50% most deprived

  This is available for the overall WIMD 2019 index and each of the 8 domains.

• Statistical quality:

  The WIMD 2019 data have been produced by professional statisticians using the latest data, rigorous analytical methods, and independent validation at every stage. WIMD 2019 builds on previous versions to ensure accuracy and reliability, combining 47 indicators from diverse sources (some but not all are based on official statistics sources) to minimize bias and strengthen robustness. Quality assurance included multiple checks, replication of results, and expert review with domain specialists and local authorities.
