This evaluation is carried out based on the Poverty Map developed by the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ.) The PIOJ Poverty Map ranks communities into four categories (Quartiles), with Quartile 1 being the least poor and Quartile 4, the poorest.
The ranking of a community is based on four indicators:
- Percentage of households without piped water.
- Percentage of households without exclusive use of water closet (flushable toilets)
- Percentage of the labour force within the community that is unemployed
- Percentage of community population with primary education only
