Index of Deprivation

The Index of Multiple Deprivation combines a number of indicators, chosen to cover a range of economic, social and housing issues, into a single deprivation score for each small area in England. This allows each area to be ranked relative to one another according to their level of deprivation. The Indices of Deprivation have been produced at Lower Super Output Area level, of which there are 32,482 in the country. The area with a rank of 1 is the most deprived and 32,482 the least deprived.
