Index of dissimilarity (9040) Metric type
- Help text
- This is an indicator of residential segregation. In this case the reference group is White British born (from the variable White_EWSNB) all other ethnic categories are in the comparator group. It is an indicator of what proportion of the population of either group would need to change location in order for the population to be evenly distributed within the local authority area. The lowest value possible is zero. Note it is possible to have a high proportion of the population ethnic minority and have a low value on the dissimilarity index. It has been calculated by MHCLG from data downloaded from NOMIS for ethnic categories by Output Area. Further discussion of the method see: Catney, G. (2016) Exploring a decade of small area ethnic (de-)segregation in England and Wales. Urban Studies, 53(8): 1691-1709.
