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, ranking all 1,917 Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) from most (rank 1) to least (rank 1,917) deprived. It combines 54 indicators grouped under 8 domains which have the following weights in the overall index: Income (22%), Employment (20%), Health (15%), Education (14%), Access to Services (10%), Housing (9%), 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, some sub-indicator values and some sub-domain ranks are also published on StatsWales. Please see the WIMD guidance report and technical report for more information.

This table contains data for 4 indicators – the 2 main indicators that form the income and employment domains and 2 additional sub-indicators, which are subsets of the income deprivation indicator. These are income deprivation for children (aged 0 to 15) and income deprivation for older people (aged 60 or over). All indicators are rounded to 1 decimal place.

Data collection or calculation

Income domain

The purpose of the income domain is to measure the proportion of people experiencing deprivation relating to low income. The domain has a relative weight of 22% in the overall index.

The domain’s main indicator is made up of several components, a cross-sectional snapshot of people in receipt of income-related benefits and tax credits, and, supported asylum seekers as at end of March 2024.

The domain uses non-overlapping counts of means-tested claimants, and applies an income threshold to working households. The summed counts are then expressed as a percentage of the estimated total population for the Lower layer Super Output Area (LSOA) based on mid-2022 small area population estimates (SAPE) published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on 25 November 2024.

The income domain also has two additional sub-indicators. These are income deprivation for children (aged 0 to 15) and income deprivation for older people (aged 60 or over). Data sources and time period:

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP): income-related benefit claimants, and people on UC as at end March 2024

  • His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC): tax credit recipients as at end March 2024
  • Home Office: Supported Asylum Seekers as at March 2024
  • ONS: mid-2022 small area population estimates

Employment domain

The purpose of the employment domain is to measure the proportion of working-age people involuntarily excluded from the labour market. This includes people who may want to work but are unable to do so due to unemployment, sickness or disability, or caring responsibilities. The domain has a relative weight of 20% in the overall index.

The domain has one indicator made up of several components, a cross-sectional snapshot of working age people in receipt of unemployment-related benefits, averaged over 12 separate monthly timepoints from April 2022 to March 2023, expressed as a percentage of the estimated population aged 18 to 66 in an LSOA based on mid-2022 small area population estimates (SAPE) published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on 25 November 2024.

Data sources and time period:

  • Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), April 2022 to March 2023
  • ONS: mid-2022 small area population estimates
Statistical quality

The WIMD 2025 data have been produced by professional statisticians using the latest data, rigorous analytical methods, and independent validation at every stage. WIMD 2025 builds on previous versions to ensure accuracy and reliability, combining 54 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.

All 4 indicators in this table are based on administrative records and population estimates. They were produced by MHCLG working with DWP and were subject to both their quality assurance as well as that of the Welsh Government officials.
