Decile 5/10 in Northern Ireland — This small area sits around the middle of the official Northern Ireland neighbourhood wellbeing ranking. Official small-area indices rank parts of Northern Ireland within that nation only; do not treat deciles as comparable across England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. NIMDM ranks Northern Ireland super output areas within Northern Ireland only. Compare NI deciles against NI areas, not against IMD, WIMD or SIMD elsewhere in the UK.
Where the postcode matches a Census 2021 statistical area, we show population, tenure and age context to describe housing pressure and community structure. Figures describe the surrounding statistical area or postcode estimate, not individual households.
