English Indices of Deprivation
The Indices of Deprivation measure neighbourhood deprivation at a small area level across England.
The Indices measure multiple dimensions of deprivation across seven individual domains, one combined Index of Multiple Deprivation (the IMD), and two supplementary indexes, making ten indices in total.
Deprivation measures have been produced by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and its predecessors in a similar way since 2000. The IoD25 is the most recent release.
The seven individual domains of deprivation include
- Income Deprivation (22.5%)
- Employment Deprivation (22.5%)
- Education, Skills and Training Deprivation (13.5%)
- Health Deprivation and Disability (13.5%)
- Crime (9.3%)
- Barriers to Housing and Services (9.3%)
- Living Environment Deprivation (9.3%)
All seven combine (weighted as indicated) to create the IMD, the official measure of deprivation in England.
We have analysed the data and have included some initial data pages within the Demography section of the JSNA.
