General Information

Objectives
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is a nationally recognised measure of deprivation at the small area (Super Output Area - SOA) level. It measures deprivation in its broadest sense by assessing indicators relating to income, employment, health and disability, education, skills and training, barriers to housing and services, crime and the living environment. The IMD 2010 updates the IMD 2007, for the most part retaining the same methodology, domains and indicators. The work is commissioned by CLG from the Social Disadvantage Research Centre at Oxford University, the Indices of Deprivation are an update of previous datasets in 2007, 2004 and 2000.
