New data has revealed which areas of Wales are the most deprived - in terms of having the lowest incomes, the worst health, the highest unemployment and the worst access to services.
The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation, which is published every five years, ranks every single area of Wales on eight factors which also includes physical environment.
As it looks at more than 1,900 small areas around Wales - often no bigger than a handful of streets - it also shows the communities that are the luckiest, in that they have the best combination of incomes, health, education levels, access to services and physical environment.
The index weights all of the eight factors it uses so disproportionately focuses on income and employment levels followed by health and education.
According to the list, the ten most deprived areas include two parts of the north Wales coastal town of Rhyl, part of Lansbury Park in Caerphilly, part of Pill in Newport, part of Wrexham, and several areas in the Rhondda and Rhymney Valleys. See the full list here.
The data also suggests that the ten most fortunate areas are led by a leafy part of Mold in north Wales which includes the streets around Bryn Coch Hall Farm. Other areas include part of Wrexham, parts of Church Village and Pontyclun in RCT, part of Bryntirion and Laleston in Bridgend, two areas of Swansea in Mayals and Newton, part of Radyr and Morganstown in Cardiff and the Plymouth ward in Penarth.

What is the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation?
The WIMD is the official measure of relative deprivation used by the Welsh Government.
Statiticians divide the country into 1,909 areas with a similar population (an average of 1,600 people in each) so that fair comparisons can be made. This is why rural areas measured appear much larger on the map - because population is less dense.
WIMD measures eight "types" of deprivation which are income, employment, health, education, access to services, housing, community safety, and physical environment.
More weight is placed on some measures than others when calculating the overall index. For example, income and employment are given the greatest weighting (22%), followed by health (15%), education (14%), access to services (10%), housing (7%), community safety (5%) and physical environment (5%).
It ranks all small areas in Wales from one (most deprived) to 1,909 (least deprived).
The index cannot be used to show improvement or deterioration over time because it only measures areas against each other.
What is it used for?
Knowing where and how different areas are deprived can help organisations decide how to develop policies, programmes and allocate funding.
It is used, often alongside other information and data, to inform decisions and provide an understanding of patterns and target resources to tackle deprivation.
The index might also be used to model likely demands on polices forces and other emergency services.
