Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD)

Range of datasets have been used to construct the index including data on income, employment, health, education, access to services, community safety, physical environment and housing. The official measure of relative deprivation for small areas in Wales where separate measurements (eg data for income, housing and health) are combined into a single number. It is designed to identify small areas with the highest concentration of several different types of deprivation. WIMD is a measure of multiple deprivation that is both an area-based measure and a measure of relative deprivation.
