Welcome to the North West Poverty Monitor, a new resource which reveals the scale and nature of poverty across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria.
The Poverty Monitor is an easy-to-navigate tool which provides data across six themes, plus a page on national data. It’s designed to equip you with the evidence you need to tackle socio-economic disadvantage in your own activities – from policy development, advocacy and campaigning through to writing funding applications and service design.
Â
The data is presented through a combination of charts, maps and tables, including interactive visualisations so that you can identify and compare specific data. Most figures are provided at a local authority level, and, where possible, at a more local level (e.g. electoral ward, middle super output area and lower super output area).
Which indicators have we chosen?
The data we have chosen to display is based on availability and on feedback we received on data shown on versions of our previous Greater Manchester Poverty Monitor. Data availability also affects the geographical level we are able to display data at. For many of the indicators, data is only available at a local authority level.
A note about ward level data
Some of the ward level data used in the Monitor was not available for new wards created following boundary changes that occurred in several areas of the North West in 2023. Therefore, data on ward level maps is mostly displayed using 2022 wards.
Please note, the Poverty Monitor is best viewed on desktop. For any questions, please email Hollie Griss at hollie@resolvepoverty.org
