These reports provide a summary of the seven domains of deprivation for each individual ward, taken from the LSOA analysis provided by The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) as part of the Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2019. With additional supporting data to further the picture of deprivation within those wards. They look at the population demographics, socio-economic, criminal activity and population health of each ward to provide a more narrative picture of the issues faced at a local level.The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) released the 2019 update of the English Indices of Deprivation on 26 September 2019 https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-indices-of-deprivation-2019 This follows previous releases in 2000, 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2015.
The 2019 Indices comprise 39 indicators organised across seven domains, which are then weighted and combined to calculate the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). The domains and weightings are set out below. Appendix 1 summarises the 2019 IMD model detail and sets out the very minor changes from 2015 model.
Two supplementary sub domains are also included:
• Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) • Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI)
The IMD 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), or neighbourhood, in England (NB the IMD is not published at ward level). Within the IMD, every neighbourhood in England is ranked according to its level of deprivation relative to that of other areas.
The average of the combined scores for each LSOA in the local authority (LA) area, weighted for population, is called the ‘Rank of average score’ and is typically used as the overall measure of deprivation. 317 LA areas are ranked in the 2019 model.
The English Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2019 were published on 26th September 2019. The data sources used in each indicator were based on data from the most recent time point available. For the highest weighted domains (Income and Employment) indicators in the IMD 2019 relate to a 2015/16 time point. 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 in MHCLG's Research Report.

Data showing deprivation levels across different Birmingham Wards, using three key indices: the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI), and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI). These indices are integral components in understanding socio-economic conditions, enabling insights into how deprivation affects various age groups and areas.Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD): IMD is a composite measure that ranks areas based on seven domains of deprivation: income, employment, education, health, crime, housing, and living environment. It offers a broad overview of deprivation at a small-area level. This is shown as a rank from 1-69 with 1 being the most deprived.IMD 2019 Decile: Where 1 is 10% Most Deprived Nationally. This is an indication of the wards financial resilience.Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI): IDACI focuses specifically on income deprivation among children. It measures the proportion of children aged 0-15 living in income-deprived households, reflecting the impact of poverty on young people.Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI): IDAOPI targets income deprivation among the elderly. It calculates the proportion of people aged 60 and over living in income-deprived households, providing insight into how economic disadvantage affects older populations.Data is update irregularly with the next release scheduled for late 2025.Mapping tipsWhen using the build a map page you should use the Color by category map type when visualising the IMD score.A good resource for custom colours for each decile is ColorBrewer.

The IMD 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), or neighbourhood, in England (NB the IMD is not published at ward level). Within the IMD, every neighbourhood in England is ranked according to its level of deprivation relative to that of other areas.
The average of the combined scores for each LSOA in the local authority (LA) area, weighted for population, is called the ‘Rank of average score’ and is typically used as the overall measure of deprivation. 317 LA areas are ranked in the 2019 model.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) identifies areas of deprivation in each local authority area, and also for smaller areas within each local authority area known as Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs). These are similar to Middlesbrough's electoral wards.The 2015 IMD was published by the Department of Communities and Local Government.The IMD is a relative measure of deprivation and is based on a variety of indicators which have been combined into the categories listed below. The index is designed to give greater weight to certain categories which are considered to be a more significant factor in the experience of deprivation:Income Deprivation domain (weighting 22.5%); Employment Deprivation domain (22.5%);Health Deprivation and Disability domain (13.5%);Education, Skills and Training Deprivation domain (13.5%);Barriers to Housing and Services domain (9.3%);Crime domain (9.3%);Living Environment Deprivation domain (9.3%).Each of the 32,844 LSOAs in England are assigned a score based on deprivation levels and also a rank based on each of the scores. Rankings for the 326 English districts and boroughs are also calculated. Middlesbrough has a rank of average score of 6 (increased from 8 in 2010) meaning it is the 6th most deprived local authority area in England.Estimated ward ranksWhilst the IMD produces results for LSOAs, it is possible to estimate national ward ranks based on the LSOA scores. The table below shows the IMD overall rankings for Middlesbrough wards for 2015 and 2010 and also highlights rank change, with ranks being out of 7,522 (number of wards in England), where rank 1 is most deprived.Estimated ward ranks key.jpgOf the twenty Middlesbrough wards, six have improved their ranking and fourteen have got worse.Six wards (30%) are in the most deprived 1% in EnglandSeven (35%) in the most deprived 3%Ten wards (50%) are in the most deprived 10%At ward-level the biggest improvers amongst the most deprived areas are Central (from 23 in 2010 to 30 in 2015) and Ayresome (from 581 in 2010 to 681 in 2015).All six Middlesbrough wards in the top 1% most deprived wards nationally have increased their ranking (become more deprived), the most significant being North Ormesby which is now ranked the second most deprived ward nationally.You can compare IMD for each of the domains (income, employment, health and disability, education and skills, barriers to housing, crime and living environment) in each of the wards in Middlesbrough.
