This dataset contains the main ranking for the Index of Multiple Deprivation, 2007. This dataset puts the 32,482 LSOAs into a rank order based on their 2007 IMD score. A rank of 1 is the most deprived.
The English Indices of Deprivation provide a relative measure of deprivation at small area level across England. Areas are ranked from least deprived to most deprived on seven different dimensions of deprivation and an overall composite measure of multiple deprivation. Most of the data underlying the 2007 indices are for the year 2005.
The indices have been constructed by the Social Disadvantage Research Centre at the University of Oxford for the Department for Communities and Local Government. All figures can only be reproduced if the source (Department for Communities and Local Government, Indices of Deprivation 2007) is fully acknowledged.
The domains used in the Indices of Deprivation 2007 are: income deprivation; employment deprivation; health deprivation and disability; education deprivation; crime deprivation; barriers to housing and services deprivation; and living environment deprivation. Each of these domains has its own scores and ranks, allowing users to focus on specific aspects of deprivation.
Because the indices give a relative measure, they can tell you if one area is more deprived than another but not by how much. For example, if an area has a rank of 40 it is not half as deprived as a place with a rank of 20.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation was constructed by combining scores from the seven domains. When comparing areas, a higher deprivation score indicates a higher proportion of people living there who are classed as deprived. But as for ranks, deprivation scores can only tell you if one area is more deprived than another, but not by how much.
This dataset was created from a spreadsheet provided by the Department of Communities and Local Government, which can be downloaded here.
The method for calculating the IMD score and underlying indicators is detailed in the Guidance document.

This dataset contains a range of measures which form the Indices of Deprivation 2015 at LSOA level. The boundaries used have been generalised by 50 metres (point remove) for web display. This dataset has been curated mainly for education/teaching purposes. The Index of Multiple Deprivation ranks every small area in England from 1 (most deprived area) to 32,844 (least deprived area). It is common to describe how relatively deprived a small area is by saying whether it falls among the most deprived 10 per cent, 20 per cent or 30 per cent of small areas in England (although there is no definitive cut-off at which an area is described as ‘deprived’). To help with this, deprivation ‘deciles’ are published alongside ranks. This dataset has been published to show the show the IMD Ranks and Deciles for each LSOA for Education purposes. The Indices of Deprivation 2015 provide a set of relative measures of deprivation for small areas (Lower-layer Super Output Areas*) across England, based on seven domains of deprivation. The domains were combined using the following weights to produce the overall Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD):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%).

The Index of Multiple Deprivation, which was produced at LSOA level in 2007 and 2004, combines seven distinct domains of deprivation together to give an overall impression of the level of deprivation experienced by an area. The crime domain combines 4 indicators of crime to give an overall score for the level of crime deprivation experienced in a small area. The indicators used in the latest update of this domain are; - Burglaries from April 2004 - March 2005, constrained to Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) level - Thefts for April 2004-March 2005, constrained to CDRP level) - Criminal damage from April 2004-March 2005, constrained to CDRP level) - Violence from April 2004-March 2005, constrained to CDRP level) More information about this domain can be found in Chapter 2, Section 7 of the English Indices of Deprivation 2007 report: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120919132719/http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/communities/pdf/733520.pdf

This is one of the 7 domains of the IMD, the indicators used in the latest update of this domain are; - Average test score of pupils at Key Stage 2 - Average test score of pupils at Key Stage 3 - Best of 8 average capped points score at Key Stage 4 (this includes results of GCSEs, GNVQs and other vocational equivalents) - Proportion of young people not staying on in school or non-advanced education above the age of 16 - Secondary school absence rate - Proportion of those aged under 21 not entering higher education - Proportion of working age adults with no or low qualifications The methodology for producing this domain changed between 2004 and 2007. The longer time series in Key Stage 2 results allowed weighted average of results to be taken in 2007; this reduced the variability in the results. More information about this domain can be found in Chapter 2, Section 5 of the English Indices of Deprivation 2007 report.

In addition, two supplementary indices measure income deprivation amongst children - the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) - and older people - the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI).
The English Indices of Deprivation 2019 use 39 separate indicators, organised across seven distinct domains of deprivation which can be combined, using appropriate weights, to calculate the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019 (IMD 2019). This is an overall measure of multiple deprivation experienced by people living in an area and is calculated for every Lower layer Super Output Area (LSOA) in England. The IMD 2019 can be used to rank every LSOA in England according to their relative level of deprivation.Source: MHCLGColumnFull ColumnLSOA01CDLSOA code (2011)LSOA01NMLSOA name (2011)LADcdLocal Authority District code (2019)LADnmLocal Authority District name (2019)IMDScoreIndex of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) ScoreIMDRank0Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) Rank (where 1 is most deprived)IMDDec0Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)IncScoreIncome Score (rate)IncRankIncome Rank (where 1 is most deprived)IncDecIncome Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)EmpScoreEmployment Score (rate)EmpRankEmployment Rank (where 1 is most deprived)EmpDecEmployment Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)EduScoreEducation, Skills and Training ScoreEduRankEducation, Skills and Training Rank (where 1 is most deprived)EduDecEducation, Skills and Training Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)HDDScoreHealth Deprivation and Disability ScoreHDDRankHealth Deprivation and Disability Rank (where 1 is most deprived)HDDDecHealth Deprivation and Disability Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)CriScoreCrime ScoreCriRankCrime Rank (where 1 is most deprived)CriDecCrime Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)BHSScoreBarriers to Housing and Services ScoreBHSRankBarriers to Housing and Services Rank (where 1 is most deprived)BHSDecBarriers to Housing and Services Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)EnvScoreLiving Environment ScoreEnvRankLiving Environment Rank (where 1 is most deprived)EnvDecLiving Environment Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)IDCScoreIncome Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) Score (rate)IDCRankIncome Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) Rank (where 1 is most deprived)IDCDecIncome Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)IDOScoreIncome Deprivation Affecting Older People (IDAOPI) Score (rate)IDORankIncome Deprivation Affecting Older People (IDAOPI) Rank (where 1 is most deprived)IDODecIncome Deprivation Affecting Older People (IDAOPI) Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)CYPScoreChildren and Young People Sub-domain ScoreCYPRankChildren and Young People Sub-domain Rank (where 1 is most deprived)CYPDecChildren and Young People Sub-domain Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)ASScoreAdult Skills Sub-domain ScoreASRankAdult Skills Sub-domain Rank (where 1 is most deprived)ASDecAdult Skills Sub-domain Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)GBScoreGeographical Barriers Sub-domain ScoreGBRankGeographical Barriers Sub-domain Rank (where 1 is most deprived)GBDecGeographical Barriers Sub-domain Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)WBScoreWider Barriers Sub-domain ScoreWBRankWider Barriers Sub-domain Rank (where 1 is most deprived)WBDecWider Barriers Sub-domain Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)IndScoreIndoors Sub-domain ScoreIndRankIndoors Sub-domain Rank (where 1 is most deprived)IndDecIndoors Sub-domain Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)OutScoreOutdoors Sub-domain ScoreOutRankOutdoors Sub-domain Rank (where 1 is most deprived)OutDecOutdoors Sub-domain Decile (where 1 is most deprived 10% of LSOAs)TotPopTotal population: mid 2015 (excluding prisoners)DepChiDependent Children aged 0-15: mid 2015 (excluding prisoners)Pop16_59Population aged 16-59: mid 2015 (excluding prisoners)Pop60+Older population aged 60 and over: mid 2015 (excluding prisoners)WorkPopWorking age population 18-59/64: for use with Employment Deprivation Domain (excluding prisoners)

The measures, known as NIMDM 2017, were informed through public consultation and Steering Group agreement, and provide a mechanism for ranking the 890 Super Output areas (SOAs) in Northern Ireland from the most deprived (rank 1) to the least deprived (rank 890).They include ranks of the areas for each of 7 distinct types (or domains) of deprivation, which have been combined to produce an overall multiple deprivation measure (MDM) rank of the areas. The MDM ranks of the areas should be considered in conjunction with those for each of the 7 domains in order to gain a comprehensive picture of deprivation.The newly developed online NIMDM 2017 Analysis Package and interactive maps allow users to readily access the data and easily find the areas in which they are interested.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation, which was produced at LSOA level in 2007 and 2004, combines seven distinct domains of deprivation together to give an overall impression of the level of deprivation experienced by an area. The Living Environment domain combines 4 indicators to give an overall score for the level of deprivation in the quality of the local environment. The indicators used in the latest update of this domain are; - Social and private housing in poor condition - Houses without central heating - Air quality - Road traffic accidents involving injury to pedestrians and cyclists More information about this domain can be found in Chapter 2, Section 8 of the English Indices of Deprivation 2007 report http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120919132719/http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/communities/pdf/733520.pdf

The English Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2015 were published on 30th September 2015. Most indicators relate to data for the financial year 2012/13. It is the official measure of relative deprivation for small areas (also known as LSOAs) or neighbourhoods in England. It scores and ranks each area using these seven different dimensions or domains each of which is based on a basket of indicators:
• Income Deprivation
• Employment Deprivation
• Education, Skills & Training Deprivation
• Health Deprivation & Disability
• Crime
• Barriers to Housing and Services
• Living Environment Deprivation
The data combines information from the domains to produce an overall relative measure of deprivation. In addition there are two supplementary indices: the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI).
The indices of multiple deprivation dataset does not indicate absolute improvement or worsening of local deprivation. More information can be found here

This dataset contains a summary measure of the Indices of Deprivation 2010 Health and disability domain at local authority district level. It puts the 326 Local Authority Districts into a rank order based the population weighted average rank of all LSOAs in the LAD. A rank of 1 is the most deprived.
The English Indices of Deprivation provide a relative measure of deprivation at small area level across England. Areas are ranked from least deprived to most deprived on seven different dimensions of deprivation and an overall composite measure of multiple deprivation. Most of the data underlying the 2010 indices are for the year 2008.
The Indices are designed for small areas, but one way of summarising relative deprivation at local authority level is by calculating the average rank of the LSOAs within it.
For the IMD and each domain, the summary measure is calculated by averaging all of the LSOA ranks in each local authority district. For the purpose of calculation, LSOAs are ranked such that the most deprived LSOA is given the rank of 32,482. The LSOA ranks are population weighted within a local authority district to take account of the fact that LSOA size can vary. (For simplicity in summarising the domains, the same total population size is used for all domains.) Finally the LADs are ranked according to the average rank of the LSOAs, from 1 to 326 where 1 is the most deprived.

This is the data for deprivation levels for small areas (LSOAs) in Cheshire East, including national percentile and national deciles. If you would like to learn more about deprivation, including maps, please visit the Deprivation in Cheshire East story.The data includes information for the seven sub domains and two additional domains for income deprivation. The 2015 IMD saw the introduction of new LSOAs, which were sub divisions of all LSOAs, due to an increasing population in these areas. The historic percentiles and deciles for these areas (2004, 2007 and 2010) are therefore the figures for their respective parent area. The new LSOAs are E010333XX

The 2010 Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure (NIMDM 2010) comprises seven domains of deprivation, each developed to measure a distinct form or type of deprivation.
The NIMDM 2010 is a combination of all seven deprivation domains, weighted as follows: Income Deprivation (25%); Employment Deprivation (25%); Health Deprivation and Disability (15%); Education Skills and Training Deprivation (15%); Proximity to Services (10%); Living Environment (5%); and Crime and Disorder (5%).
Results are provided for these domains and the overall multiple deprivation measure in the form of ranks. Areas are ordered from most deprived (rank 1) to least deprived. The main output geography for the deprivation measures is the Super Output Area.
The Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure 2010 report is available at https://www.nisra.gov.uk/publications/northern-ireland-multiple-deprivation-measure-2010

This dataset contains the main ranking for the Index of Multiple Deprivation, 2007. This dataset puts the 32,482 LSOAs into a rank order based on their 2007 IMD score. A rank of 1 is the most deprived.
The English Indices of Deprivation provide a relative measure of deprivation at small area level across England. Areas are ranked from least deprived to most deprived on seven different dimensions of deprivation and an overall composite measure of multiple deprivation. Most of the data underlying the 2007 indices are for the year 2005.
The indices have been constructed by the Social Disadvantage Research Centre at the University of Oxford for the Department for Communities and Local Government. All figures can only be reproduced if the source (Department for Communities and Local Government, Indices of Deprivation 2007) is fully acknowledged.
The domains used in the Indices of Deprivation 2007 are: income deprivation; employment deprivation; health deprivation and disability; education deprivation; crime deprivation; barriers to housing and services deprivation; and living environment deprivation. Each of these domains has its own scores and ranks, allowing users to focus on specific aspects of deprivation.
Because the indices give a relative measure, they can tell you if one area is more deprived than another but not by how much. For example, if an area has a rank of 40 it is not half as deprived as a place with a rank of 20.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation was constructed by combining scores from the seven domains. When comparing areas, a higher deprivation score indicates a higher proportion of people living there who are classed as deprived. But as for ranks, deprivation scores can only tell you if one area is more deprived than another, but not by how much.
This dataset was created from a spreadsheet provided by the Department of Communities and Local Government, which can be downloaded here.
The method for calculating the IMD score and underlying indicators is detailed in the Guidance document.
The data is represented here as Linked Data, using the Data Cube ontology.
