Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

Note: this is not the latest release in the series, for latest data go to Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) 2025 results report.

The 2019 edition ranked 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 2019 has one indicator on absenteeism that used data from primary and secondary school aged children. The data in this table shows that indicator split into primary and secondary categories.

Data collection or calculation

Postcode data from PLASC is matched to LSOAs, using a postcode to LSOA look-up. Data are based on all pupils of statutory school age attending a maintained school. Data on pupils domiciled in Wales but attending a school in England has been provided by the Department for Education (DfE) and included in the calculation of this indicator.

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.
