bluewave wealthmap
The The Bluewave Wealthmap is a small-area classification for England & Wales based on data from the 2021 census and house price data from The Land Registry. Each small area is classified into one of 10 wealth bands within 5 higher level wealth categories according to the values of key indicators such as social grade, housing tenure, deprivation, house price index and unemployment levels.

The classification is available at full postcode and postcode sector levels as well as at the census output area (OA) level.
