Micoud and Dennery were virtually tied.
At least one transparent disadvantage affected 40.08% of weighted households in Micoud and 40.04% in Dennery. Housing drove much of that reach.

The central finding
Micoud and Dennery had the highest local rates. Canaries had the deepest overlap.
Local rates, overlapping disadvantages and total households affected answer different questions. The type of disadvantage helps identify which service or agency should respond.
Canaries had the deepest overlap.
20.03% of households had at least two flags and 11.02% had at least three, with sanitation, cooking, lighting and information signals overlapping.
Use to find places that may need several services togetherCastries Rural contained the most affected households.
It accounted for 15.11% of all households nationally with at least one flag, ahead of Micoud, Vieux Fort, Gros Islet and Dennery.
Use to estimate where programmes may need the widest reachHousing was common, but often stood alone.
Housing inadequacy was the largest national domain at 16.74%. The stronger bundle linked lighting, cooking fuel, information isolation and sanitation.

Choosing the right response
Check why the problem exists before choosing a response.
The same census result can reflect missing infrastructure, unsafe or unreliable service, cost barriers, or limits related to the dwelling, tenure or household capability.

Most overlapping problemsCanaries20.03% had at least two flags and 11.02% had at least three.Open response
Diagnose nowCheck water continuity and quality, sanitation containment, grid and wiring status, cooking-energy price, internet price and devices, dwelling safety and ability to connect.
Candidate response if validatedIf current evidence confirms the pattern, coordinate WASH, energy, digital access, household assistance and case management rather than funding one isolated asset.
Housing-led incidenceMicoud + DenneryAbout 40% had at least one flag; housing incidence was 27.00% in Micoud and 30.65% in Dennery.Open response
Diagnose nowSeparate repairable structures, unsafe sites, owner and renter barriers, tenure, hazard exposure, repair cost and access to credit or grants.
Candidate response if validatedUse inspected, resilient repair packages that can combine roof, wiring, plumbing, drainage, storage and accessibility where the need is verified.
Mixed settlement patternAnse La Raye39.26% had at least one flag, with housing, sanitation, lighting, cooking and information disadvantages all visible.Open response
Diagnose nowTest whether services are absent, unreliable or unaffordable, and whether dwelling or tenure barriers prevent connection.
Candidate response if validatedConsider settlement upgrading and household repair together with connection and affordability measures, not as substitutes.
Refuse system burdenVieux FortThe refuse flag reached 6.31% locally and 26.53% of the national refuse-affected caseload.Open response
Diagnose nowCheck routes, road access, collection frequency, missed service, communal points, storage, information and compliance.
Candidate response if validatedUse reliable schedules, bins, smaller vehicles, route redesign or transfer points where service gaps are confirmed. Enforce only after credible access exists.
Large burden, lower rateCastries Rural + Gros IsletCastries Rural held 15.11% of the national at-least-one caseload. Gros Islet held 27.91% of the narrow water caseload despite 4.08% local water incidence.Open response

Candidate response if validatedUse current administrative data or disclosure-protected small-area tables for targeted outreach. Do not label the entire district deprived.
What these data can show
The data show exact overlap at district level, but not for communities or constituencies.
Private households in the 2022 Census, analyzed with the household coverage-adjustment weight. The exact weighted sum is 65,951.115.
Seven documented binary flags are counted transparently. The count is not a poverty verdict, and equal counting does not imply equal harm.
The finest defensible public household-infrastructure geography is 12 census districts, not electoral constituencies. Independently rounded district totals add to 65,952 while the exact national weighted sum, 65,951.115, rounds to 65,951. This one-household display difference is rounding, not a missing record.
No post-enumeration survey or replicate weights were published. The coverage adjustment and small-area estimates therefore carry uncertainty not captured by the displayed decimals.
The calculation used on this page counts at least three people per bedroom, while the accompanying technical text uses more than three. The national at-least-one result is therefore 28.19% under the displayed rule and 26.77% under the stricter rule; district priorities do not change.
Conditions refer to the 12–13 March 2022 census reference night. Projects and household changes since then may have altered the map.
