AN INSIGHT INTO THE MULTIPLE DEPRIVATION IN
THE COUNTIES OF NORTH WALES The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2014 (WIMD) is the official measure of deprivation in small areas in Wales.
* Multiple Deprivation refers to more than one type of deprivation. An area is multiply deprived if, for more than one of the categories, the area has a concentration of people experiencing that type of deprivation.
WIMD is calculated for all small areas (Lower layer Super Output Areas – LSOAs) in Wales. Following the 2011 Census, 1909 LSOAs were defined in Wales and they have an average population of 1600 people. WIMD is based on indicators that consider the aggregate characteristics of the people living in the area and, in some cases, the characteristics of the area itself (for example, the Physical Graph showing the levels of deprivation in North Wales Environment category).
The measure of *multiple deprivation in North Wales, that is both an area-based measure and a measure of relative deprivation separated into eight categories:
• Income – people with income below a defined level.
• Employment – lack of employment including those who cannot work due to ill-health or
unemployed but actively seeking work.
• Health – lack of good health (limiting long-term illness, all cause death rate, cancer incidence, low
weight single births.
• Education – reflects educational disadvantage in terms of lack of qualifications and skills, repeat
absenteeism, 18 – 19-year olds not entering Higher Education and the number of adults between 25 – 64 years with no qualification. • Access to Services – a household’s inability to access a range of services considered necessary for day-to-day living, measured by public and private travel times to food shops, GP surgeries, Schools, Post office, Public Library, Pharmacies, Leisure centres and Petrol stations. • Community Safety – covering actual experience of crime and fire and perceptions of safety whilst out in the local area, measured by recorded burglary, criminal damage, theft, violent crime, fire incidences and anti-social behaviour. • Physical Environment – measured factors that may impact on wellbeing and quality of life, such as air concentrations, air emissions, proximity to waste disposal and industrial sites, flood risk. • Housing – overcrowded households (bedroom measure) and households with no central heating.
