Indices of Deprivation 2019

The English Indices of Deprivation were published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government in September 2019. The Indices measure relative levels of deprivation in 32,844 Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) in England. Each LSOA contains approximately 1,500 residents or 650 households. They are ranked from 1 (most deprived) to 32,844 (least deprived) and assigned to a decile ranging from 1 (most deprived 10%) to 10 (least deprived 10%). Local authorities in England are also ranked from 1 to 317 based on a population weighted average rank or score of the LSOA data.

Relative deprivation is measured using 39 indicators which are grouped across seven different domains: Income; Employment; Education, skills & training; Health & disability; Crime; Barriers to housing & services; Living environment. Each domain is combined and weighted to create the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), an overall measure of relative deprivation.

We have created interactive apps and reports to provide visualisation and analysis of the Indices of Deprivation 2019 data.

Electoral Ward resources for Trafford

Electoral Ward boundaries and LSOA boundaries do not always perfectly align and so it is impossible to aggregate from LSOA to ward exactly. Instead a ‘best-fit’ methodology is used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to assign LSOAs to the most appropriate ward.
