  • Poverty dashboard

    Our “A view of poverty” dashboard has been updated. The dashboard brings together data relating to measures of poverty across key themes. It is designed to help you understand more about poverty within your local authority area.

    We've added some additional data, including:

    • The 2021 census data, broken down by local authority and lower super-output area, where available. Data updates include, deprived households, qualifications by age, household tenure and household occupancy.
    • Data from the Trussell Trust on food parcels and distribution centres.
    • Data about families with absolute and relative low income, including those families in employment.
    • OFCOM data about digital poverty.
    • Additional data from the National Survey for Wales, specifically under the ‘health’ and ‘physical environment’ themes.

  • Equalities dashboard

    Understanding the views of residents is essential for effective governance. Resident surveys are an important way of gathering this feedback. However, prior to this project, all resident surveys run in Wales were unique. This made it difficult to compare results from one council to another. We identified an opportunity to improve the consistency and comparability of these surveys by taking a ‘Once for Wales’ approach.

    In collaboration with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) and local councils we developed a consistent, modular, bi-lingual resident survey that would be offered to all local councils in Wales. The specific aims of the project were to:

    • Reduce development and running costs through standardisation and centralisation;
    • Enhance data quality and comparability through standardisation;
    • Deliver useable insight via a results dashboard; and
    • Prompt improvement conversations through comparison and benchmarking.

    We launched the National Resident Survey in July 2024, just six months after the first discussions. In this time, we developed the national survey, signed off data protection and sharing approaches, and created a dissemination dashboard.
