Ministry Area

Definitions

Deprivation in Wales is measured through the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD). It is designed to identify the small areas of Wales that are the most deprived. The measure takes into account a variety of types of deprivation, combining them to give a measure of relative poverty. The WIMD ranks all small areas in Wales from 1 (most deprived) to 1,909 (least deprived).

In the maps shown here, areas coloured red have WIMD ranks of between 1 and 95 - the 5% most deprived small areas in Wales. Areas coloured orange are in the 10% most deprived areas (ranks 96 to 191) and those coloured yellow are in the 20% most deprived areas (ranks 192 to 382).

The types of deprivation included are:

  • Income
  • Employment
  • Health
  • Education
  • Access to Services
  • Community Safety
  • Physical Environment
  • Housing

The “small areas” used here are “Lower-level Super Output Areas” (LSOAs), produced from the 2011 Census by the Office of National Statistics (ONS). They are geographical areas with an average of 1,500 people living in each one, with a minimum of 1,000 people.

Further information about the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation, including interactive maps, is available from the Welsh Government and StatsWales.
