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. 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.
