Indices of Deprivation
The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government released the 2019 Indices of Deprivation on 26 September 2019 replacing the 2015 version.
The Indices of Deprivation are a unique measure of relative deprivation at a small local area level (Lower-layer Super Output Areas - LSOA) across England. The Indices provide a set of relative measures of deprivation for small across England, based on seven different domains, or facets, of deprivation:
Income Deprivation / Employment Deprivation / Education, Skills and Training Deprivation / Health Deprivation and Disability / Crime / Barriers to Housing and Services / Living Environment Deprivation.
Combining information from the seven domains produces an overall relative measure of deprivation, the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). In addition to the seven domain-level indices above, there are two supplementary indices: the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI). These are created as subsets from the Income Deprivation domain.
