Deprivation in Waterford

AdMMM

The All-Island-Research-Observatory have used available census data to map deprivation across the country. Waterford doesn't fare too well. This is based off 2006 data so one can only imagine the picture once 2011 data is available!

Class  Composition  and  Labour  Market  Situation.4  These  three  dimensions  can  be  similarly

The Demographic Profile is measured by five indicators: 
• percentage change in population over the previous five years; 
• percentage of people aged under 15 or over 64 years of age; 
• percentage of people with a primary school education only; 
• percentage of people with a third‐level education; and 
• mean number of persons per room.

• percentage of people with a third‐level education; 
• percentage of households headed by professionals or managerial and technical employees, 
including
• percentage  of  households  headed  by  semi‐skilled  or  unskilled  manual  workers,  including 
farmers
• mean number of persons per room. 
 
Finally, the Labour Market Situation is measured by three indicators: 
• percentage of households with children aged under 15 years and headed by a single parent; 
• male unemployment rate; and 
• female unemployment rate.

That means nothing because it doesn't take in earnings. Lots of young people with degrees can't find work. Similarly, people with no 3rd level qualifications could be earning good money working in a factory or a trade.

This is going to make for an interesting thread.

My sister will be pissed off

This area is classed as being marginally above average

You think that's bad? My comfortably retired parents living in an apparently disadvantaged area...

Their house was valued at 375,000 Euro during the Tiger years :rolleyes:

The data is very old in fairness.

This is what I got for where I live:

This area is classed as being Affluent with a relative deprivation score of 10.49. On an All-Island scale this area is ranked as being 17329 out of 19,961 with 1 being the most disadvantaged.
In the Republic of Ireland this area is ranked as being 12,411 out of 14,949 with 1 being the most disadvantaged.
Within the County of Waterford City this area is ranked as being 155 out of 171 with 1 being the most disadvantaged.

But there are loads of people in that area who were builders and stuff like that so I can only imagine how much that has changed.


Did anyone find where is considered to be the most disadvantaged? Number 2 is the section alongside Priory Lawn in Ballybeg.

King's Channel is the most affluent part of the city apparently.

My parents live in a "advantaged" area, yet my dad has been signing on for the last few months. Total rubbish :mad:

I love how people are picking a single case to dismiss the report on an entire AREA!

Why should it be in plain English, its statistical methodology, not harry potter.

Very strange, the area I live in has half the estate slightly below and half slightly above average. Its a relatively small estate and I cannot see any reason why there should be any difference.

AdMMM

It's based off electoral areas as far as I know. The other part of the estate could very well be considered a separate area in the register of electors. As you mention it is small, there's no doubt that it would only take a small number of affluent (as defined by the study) households to positively affect one part of the estate or a small number of disadvantaged (as defined by the study) to negatively affect the other.
