- Description
- Based on the indices of multiple deprivation (IMD), this measure shows the proportion of a district's population living in the most deprived lower super output areas (LSOAs) in the country. In this case 'district' refers to all authority types other than county councils. LSOAs are small fixed geographic areas encompassing a population of approximately 1,000 people.In this measure, all of the people living in the 10% most deprived LSOAs in England are captured in the numerator, plus a proportion of the population of those LSOAs in the next two deciles on a sliding scale - that is, 95% of the population of the LSOA at the 11th percentile, and 5% of the population of the LSOA at the 29th percentile. This makes the cut-off point less abrupt for this measure than that adopted in the 2000 indices of deprivation. The district with a rank of 1 has the highest proportion of it's population living in the most deprived LSOAs in the country.The aim of this measure is to portray how widespread high levels of deprivation are in a district. It only includes districts which contain LSOAs which fall within the most deprived 30% of LSOAs in England. Therefore some districts do not have an overall score for this measure and they are given a joint rank of 309.Further detail on the IMD can be found at the following link: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20100410180038/http://communities.gov.uk/publications/communities/indiciesdeprivation07
