Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2008 - Indicator Data

These statistics on indicators of deprivation, aggregated to various geographic and non-geographic groupings, include data for Wales from WIMD 2008, and an update to community safety indicators.

The key points from the latest release are:

• The WIMD and Child Index data are now available not only for lower-layer super output areas, but also local authorities, Strategic Regeneration Areas, Communities First Partnerships, and also non-geographic groupings by Defra Urban/Rural Classification and WIMD deprivation groups;
• These analyses are published for the WIMD 2008 and Child Index 2008 indicators, and include a 2007/8 - 2008/9 update to the recorded crime and offender (adult and youth) indicators;
• The published data can be found on the Welsh Assembly Government’s StatsWales website;
• This new publication will be updated annually where possible, or when new data become available; and
• Information about a correction to the burglary indicator in the WIMD 2008 community safety domain is also announced. This correction has a very limited effect on the WIMD and Child Index ranks.
