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%).
The data here is for the underlying indicators that feed into the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019.
Small areas (LSOAs) of ‘deep-rooted’ deprivation are those that have remained within the top 50 most deprived – roughly equal to the top 2.6% – small areas in Wales for the last five publications of WIMD ranks.
- Data collection or calculation
There are various methods of collection for the different indicators – please see the WIMD 2019 Technical Report for more information.
Deep rooted deprivation estimates have been produced where the original data allows for aggregating to geographies above LSOA level. Where this is not possible for a given indicator entries will display [x] in the Data column.
- 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.
- Rounding applied
Please see WIMD: A guide to analysing indicator data for more information on rounding and disclosure control.
