Deprivation Source: Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2010, CLG.

The Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2010 (IMD 2010) is a measure of deprivation at the small area level - Lower Super Output Area (LSOA). England is split into 32,482 LSOAs, LSOAs have a minimum population of 1000, and overall average population of 1500, and were ranked to create the IMD. All of the LSOAs in England are ranked. The LSOA ranked one by the IMD 2010 is the most deprived and the LSOA ranked 32,482 is the least deprived. IMD 2010 is based on 2008 data. Chiltern district contains 57 LSOAs.

The IMD model is based on seven distinct dimensions of deprivation which are then given a weighting to work out an overall ranking for deprivation as the table below shows.

Domain Weighting

Income Deprivation (eg income related benefits) 22.5%

Employment Deprivation (eg job related benefit claimants) 22.5% Health Deprivation & Disability (eg poor health, disability, mortality rates) 13.5%

Education, Skills & Training Deprivation (eg educational attainment, and work skills) 13.5% Barriers to Housing and Service (eg affordability and distance to services) 9.3%

Crime & Disorder (eg burglary, theft, criminal damage and violence) 9.3%

Living Environment Deprivation (eg housing quality, air quality and road traffic 9.3% accidents)

Note: IMD 2010 is based on 2008 data.

6 Domain LSOA IMD Rank (England) Rank in District, 1= most deprived, 1 = most deprived, 32,482 = least deprived 57 = least deprived Overall IMD Rank E01017766 26,151 23

Cholesbury, The Lee, and Bellingdon is made up of one LSOA.

Within the district, 27 LSOAs fell within the 10% least deprived overall IMD rankings. These are shown in white in the map on the right.

The ranking for the overall IMD shows that two LSOAs in Chiltern fell within the most 31% - 40% deprived areas in England (shown in red on the map) and a further five fell within the most 41% to 50% deprived areas in England (shown in pink on the map). None fell within the 30% most deprived areas.

The main factors influencing deprivation within Chiltern were Barriers to Housing and Services and Crime. Barriers to Housing and Services reflects the high cost of housing and the rural aspect of the district with 80% of land being Green Belt.
