Pobal deprivation index

This index uses a number of indicators to calculate a relative deprivation score for

over 18,000 ‘small areas’ with around 100 households in each. The deprivation scores

go from 1 ‘extremely disadvantaged’ to 8 ‘extremely affluent’. The index was recently

updated with data from Census 2022. The indicators used include the education,

employment status and number of people per room in the household.
