Wealth Group Data
Wealth groups are a group of households within a Livelihood Zone with similar capacity to exploit the available food and income options.
Typically, rural Livelihood Zones contain Very Poor, Poor, Medium, and Better Off Wealth Groups.
Note that although most Wealth Groups are based on income and assets, i.e. wealth, that is not always the case. For example female-headed households may be a surveyed Wealth Group.
Wealth groups are implicit in the BSS 'WB' worksheet in Column B and the 'Data' worksheet in Row 3.
Wealth groups include the following fields:
-
Livelihood Zone Baseline: The Baseline associated with the Wealth Group.
-
Community: The Community associated with the Wealth Group.
-
Wealth Group Category: The Wealth Group Category of the Wealth Group, e.g. Poor or Better Off.
-
Percentage of Households: Percentage of households in the Community or Livelihood Zone that are in this Wealth Group.
-
Average Household Size: The average household size within the Wealth Group.
