Indices of Multiple Deprivation

The Indices of Multiple Deprivation are the most detailed way of looking at where the most deprived areas across England are located.

The English Indices of Deprivation 2010 (ID2010) were published by Communities and Local Government in March 2010.  This updates the previous release from 2007.

Deprivation is measured at small geographical areas called Super Output Areas.  There are 124 Super Output Areas in North Somerset and 32,482 across England.

There are scores for each of the seven deprivation themes, which are called domains:

  • Income 
  • Employment
  • Health
  • Education 
  • Barriers to housing and services
  • Crime
  • Living environment

The scores for each super output area were then ranked from 1 which is the most deprived, through to 32,482 which is the least deprived.

You can view the 2010 dataset at Communities and Local Government and North Somerset's briefing note on the English Indices of Deprivation 2010 is also available to download.
