TwitterThe 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.

The Indices of Deprivation (IOD) 2019 are the Government’s official measure of deprivation for English local authorities and neighbourhoods, released in 2019 by the Ministry for Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). The IOD includes the headline Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) as well as indices covering income deprivation for young people and for older people. The IMD is based on indicators organised across seven sub domains of deprivation, which are combined and weighted to calculate the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019.MHCLG did not produce deprivation data for wards and constituencies. They did provide a methodology for aggregating LSOA data into higher geographies, and this was used to create rankings for the city’s constituencies, originally published in a Birmingham City Council Economic Policy report on deprivation.The data shows:the Birmingham rank from most (rank 1) to least deprived (rank 10)
the national decile, from decile 1 (nationally most deprived 10%) to decile 10 (nationally least deprived)

TwitterThe Index of multiple deprivation (IMD) combines information from the English Indices of deprivation (IoD). It is the Government's official measure of relative deprivation for LSOAs (Lower layer super output areas). LSOAs are small geographical areas of approximately 1,700 people. There are 128 LSOAs in Calderdale. The IoD is a set of relative measures of deprivation for LSOAs across England, based on seven different domains of deprivation: Income, Employment, Education skills and training, Health and disability, Crime, Barriers to housing and services, and Living environment. There are also seven domain level indices and two supplementary indices - Income deprivation affecting children index (IDACI) and Income deprivation affecting older people index (IDAOPI). It is published every three to five years. IMD 2019 results were published on 26 September 2019. Calderdale results are available, using the dashboard link on this page. More information is available at Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local government: English Indices of deprivation 2019.

The English Indices of Deprivation (IoD) was published by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) on 26 September 2019. This release updates the indices released in 2015.The IMD brings together data covering seven different aspects or 'domains' of deprivation into a weighted overall index for each Lower-layer Super Output Area (LSOA) in England. The scores are then used to rank the LSOAs nationally and to calculate an IMD score for each local authority area. Local authorities are then ranked by their IMD score. The IMD presents a ranking of relative deprivation between and within local authorities in England. It is not a measure of affluence in an area, nor a measure of how much more or less deprived an area is compared to another.The domains used in calculating the index are: Income; Employment; Education, Skills and Training; Health Deprivation and Disability; Crime; Barriers to Housing and Services; Living Environment. There are also two supplementary domains - Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and Income Deprivation Affecting Older People (IDAOPI).LSOAs are a geographical unit which has an average of 1,500 residents and 650 households. They were developed following the 2001 Census, through the aggregation of smaller census output areas, to create areas with a reasonably compact shape and which were socially similar (assessed through housing type). Around one percent of LSOAs were changed following the 2001 Census in order to maintain the characteristics described above. There are now 32,844 LSOAs in England. Leicester now has 192 LSOAs.Leicester IMDLeicester is ranked 32nd most deprived in IMD2019 out of 317 local authorities, compared with 21st in the 2015 index.Technical information on the Indices of Deprivation 2019 is available from

The English Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2025 were published on 30th October 2025. 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 2025 Income relates to a March 2024 time point and Employment relates to a 2022/23 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. This dataset contains data related to York only, for the years 2007, 2010 2015 and 2019. Deprivation data aggregated by ward for each of the 21 York wards can be found as well.

This dataset presents the latest relative measures of deprivation across England, compiling data for 33,755 LSOAs using the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2025 (IMD25) framework. It includes:
A ranking of neighbourhoods from most to least deprived, enabling comparative analysis rather than absolute measurement. Seven domain indices (Income; Employment; Education, Skills & Training; Health Deprivation & Disability; Crime; Barriers to Housing & Services; Living Environment) which are weighted and aggregated to form the overall IMD25. Two supplementary indices: the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI) Summary data for higher-level geographies (Local Authority Districts, Integrated Care Boards, etc) derived from the LSOA data.
Geographic unit: Local Authority. Number of units: 296 Local Authorities in England
Temporal Reference This is a cross-sectional release representing a “snapshot” of relative deprivation. While previous versions (e.g., IoD2019) exist, changes to methodology, indicators and geographies mean that direct time-series comparisons should be approached with caution.
Purpose / Use Cases
To identify and compare areas of relative deprivation across England at small-area level. To support resource allocation, policymaking, service planning, and funding applications by local and national organisations. To explore the different domains of deprivation and their spatial patterns.
Caveats & Limitations
The indices measure relative deprivation only. A rank of “1” identifies the most deprived area relative to others, but this does not quantify the absolute extent of deprivation. The dataset does not identify deprived individuals nor does it measure affluence. Comparisons over time (especially across versions) are limited because of changes to data sources, indicator definitions, and geography. The data apply exclusively to England and should not be directly compared with similar indices from Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
Methodological Summary
Indicators: 55 indicators used in this version (an increase from 39 in IoD2019) including new and revised measures of income benefit claimants, pupil absence, broadband connectivity, energy performance certificates, access to private gardens, noise pollution, and more. Domain weights: Income 22.5%; Employment 22.5%; Education/Skills 13.5%; Health 13.5%; Crime 9.3%; Barriers to Housing & Services 9.3%; Living Environment 9.3%. Extensive quality assurance and validation of indicators and inputs has been conducted.

This dataset provides detailed information on the 2019 Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) for Birmingham, UK. The data is available at the postcode level and includes the Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) information.Data is provided at the LSOA 2011 Census geography.The decile score ranges from 1-10 with decile 1 representing the most deprived 10% of areas while decile 10 representing the least deprived 10% of areas.The IMD rank and decile score is allocated to the LSOA and all postcodes within it at the time of creation (2019).Note that some postcodes cross over LSOA boundaries. The Office for National Statistics sets boundaries for LSOAs and allocates every postcode to one LSOA only: this is the one which contains the majority of residents in that postcode area (as at 2011 Census).
The English Indices of Deprivation 2019 provide detailed measures of relative deprivation across small areas in England. The Living Environment Deprivation dataset is a key component of this index, assessing the quality of the local environment. This dataset includes indicators such as housing quality, air quality, and road traffic accidents. It helps identify areas where the living environment is poor, guiding policy interventions and resource allocation to improve housing conditions, reduce pollution, and enhance overall living standards.

Also posted here are some ward level summary data for London for the latest release (ID2019) and from 2007.Accompanying notes are included in the files. Please take the time to read these as they explain what is included on each sheet. The London data files have sheets for the published LSOA overall IMD and domains (rank and score), LSOA sub domains (rank and score), LSOA IDACI/IDAOPI, borough level IMD summary measures, borough level domain summary measures, borough level IDACI/IDAOPI, population figures, underlying indicators. GLA Intelligence reports give further information about the components of the Indices, how they are constructed and an analysis of the results for London, together with maps of the IMD, the domains and sub domains at LSOA level. The ID2019 replace the ID2015 as the Government’s official measure of deprivation from the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government. The Indices show London remains an area of mixed fortunes, with some wealthier areas alongside pockets of deprivation across the capital. Generally, London is showing less deprivation over time compared with other parts of the country, and the pockets of deprivation are becoming more dispersed. The indices help to pinpoint those areas where there is greatest need on a number of dimensions of deprivation. The ID2019 data for the whole of England are available on this MHCLG web page.

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.
