KEY POINTS

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2000 (IMD 2000) is a ward level index, combining information from six component parts or 'domains' of deprivation: Income, Employment, Health & Disability, Education, Housing and Geographical access to services (§1.1).

This report focuses on Income deprivation and also covers the associated Child Poverty Index.

Income Deprivation is defined as dependence on the four key means-tested benefits (Income Support, Jobseekers' Allowance - Income-based, Family Credit and Disability Working Allowance) or Council Tax Benefit for non-earning, non-IS pensioner and disabled households. The majority of benefits data mainly relates to 1998. The rest relates to 1999.

The IMD scores for both Income Deprivation and the Child Poverty Index are percentage rates. Thus it is valid to say that a ward with a score of, say, 70%, is twice as deprived as one with a score of 35% (§1.1).

The rates are best quoted as whole percentages (e.g. 70%). Although the DETR quotes the scores to two decimal places, these are estimates.

Users should note that all rates depend on the accuracy of the ward population estimates. All these rates should be updateable with Census 2001 ward populations, when they become available.

The North East is the region with the highest average rank of wards suffering multiple deprivation, with a mean ward rank of 2,279 (out of 8,414). The North East also has the largest percentage of its population (56%) living in the most deprived 20% of wards in on the IMD (§2.0).

The most income deprived ward in Tyne & Wear is Walker, Newcastle, with a score of 58%. The least deprived ward is & East Boldon, South Tyneside, with a score of 7.7%. The average rate of income deprivation in Tyne & Wear is 31.5% (§2.1).

In eight of the 113 wards in Tyne & Wear over 50% of the population are income deprived. Income deprivation is 50% or over in six of Newcastle's wards and one each in North Tyneside and Sunderland. South Tyneside and Gateshead have no wards with an income deprivation score of 50% or over (§2.1).

The North East region has the highest percentage of children (42%) in families that claim means- tested benefits (§3.1).

In Tyne & Wear, the ward with the highest rate of child poverty (85%) is West City (Newcastle). The least deprived ward is (Newcastle). There is an 80 percentage point difference between the child poverty scores of these two wards. The average rate of child poverty in Tyne & Wear is 45% (§3.1).

In fourteen wards in Tyne & Wear over 65% of children are living in poverty. Child poverty is over 65% in seven wards in Newcastle. Sunderland (4), North Tyneside (2), Gateshead (1) and South Tyneside no wards (§3.1).

41 wards in Tyne & Wear are in the top 10% most deprived wards in England, in terms of child poverty. Child poverty is within the most deprived 10% of wards in England, in ten Newcastle wards, nine Gateshead wards, almost one third of Sunderland wards (8), seven wards in North Tyneside and seven wards in South Tyneside (§3.1).

Income Deprivation in Tyne & Wear

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report presents an analysis of the Income Deprivation domain of the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2000 at ward level in Tyne & Wear. The IMD 2000 was published by the DETR, in August 2000. It reveals the extent of poverty, and particularly child poverty in Tyne & Wear.

Townsend (19791) provided a definition of poverty in terms of relative deprivation: 'Individuals, families and groups can be said to be in poverty if they lack the resources to obtain the types of diet, participate in the activities and have the living conditions and amenities which are customary, or at least widely encouraged or approved in the societies to which they belong'. From this, and other work, Townsend has laid down the foundation for articulating multiple deprivation as an accumulation of single deprivations - this concept is further developed in the design of the IMD 2000.

Income deprivation is considered one of the most important aspects of deprivation. In the UK, the number of people with relatively low incomes has more than doubled between the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1990s. This increase followed a period in the 1960s and 1970s during which the proportion of people with relatively low incomes remained broadly constant2. One of the main reasons for the increase has been the growth in the number of working-age households where no one is in employment. This has doubled since the end of the 1970s. The proportion peaked in 1996 at 18.9% but by spring 1998 had declined to 17.7%3. The growth of these ‘work-less households’ has been driven by a decline in male employment rates and also by an increase in the number of single adult, including lone parent, households. In addition, employed people have become concentrated in fewer households; the rise in women's employment has occurred largely in households where the partner is already in work4.

An 'ideal' indicator of income deprivation would be to measure the proportion of households below a particular low-income threshold. This is one of a set of national indicators included in the Government's Poverty and Social Exclusion Report Opportunity for All (2000)5, and is based on Households Below Average Income (HBAI) data. The headline measure used is the proportion of households living below 60% of the median income. This measure has also been adopted by Eurostat, for comparisons across the EU. However data is not currently available at the small-area level.

1.1 THE IMD 2000

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2000 is a ward-level index based on 1998 English ward boundaries, describing each ward in terms of deprivation. Information from six component parts or 'domains' of deprivation are combined: Income, Employment, Health & Disability, Education, Housing and Geographical Access to Services. Each domain reflects a particular and distinct aspect of deprivation, consisting of a series of predominantly ward-based indicators.

The indicators used for the IMD 2000 were converted into scores. Deprivation has been scored independently of the size of administrative area (e.g. district). For Income Deprivation and

Child Poverty these scores are percentage rates. By using rates, a standard form of measurement, areas of widely different size can be compared. The size of the administrative area is not a determinant of the IMD itself. An important implication of basing indicators upon rates is the need for appropriate denominators. Hence, a set of population estimates were generated (by Oxford University) at ward-level for the whole of England.

The six domains were weighted and combined to produce an overall Index of Multiple Deprivation, such that a ward's overall score would be: (0.25 x Income score) + (0.25 x Employment score) + (0.15 x Education score) + (0.15 x Health score) + (0.10 x Housing score) + (0.10 x Access score). A supplementary Child Poverty Index has also been produced.

The ward scores for the six domains, the overall IMD score and the Child Poverty Score were each assigned a rank in England. The most deprived ward for each index was given a rank of 1, and the least deprived ward was given a rank of 8414. The ranks show how a ward compares to all the other wards in the country. The scores, by contrast, indicate the distance between each rank position, as these vary.

The purpose of the IMD Income Domain is to capture the extent of income deprivation in a small area. This is done by measuring in a ward the number of people in households on the key benefits. The number of income deprived people was simply summed and divided by a suitable denominator to create the area rate.

Within the income domain, the absence of low income should not be taken to imply high incomes. The index deals with relative conditions secondly, a low deprivation score in one domain, for example income, can be consistent with a range of overall deprivation scores.

Hence for the IMD Income Domain, the following 9 indicators (including four pairs) were chosen: • Adults in Income Support households (DSS) for 1998 • Children in Income Support households (DSS) for 1998 • Adults in Income Based Job Seekers Allowance households (DSS) for 1998 • Children in Income Based Job Seekers Allowance households (DSS) for 1998 • Adults in Family Credit households (DSS) for 1999 • Children in Family Credit households (DSS) for 1999 • Adults in Disability Working Allowance households (DSS) for 1999 • Children in Disability Working Allowance households (DSS) for 1999 • Non-earning, non-IS pensioner and disabled Council Tax Benefit recipients (DSS) for 1998 apportioned to wards

The 9 indicators are in the form of non-overlapping counts, of individuals in receipt of means- tested benefits or dependent on them. The indicators were summed in order to generate the percentage of the total population living in such families.

The Child Poverty Index is the proportion of children under 16 living in households receiving the above means-tested benefits. It is therefore a direct derivative of the IMD's Income Domain.

2.0 INCOME DEPRIVATION AT DISTRICT LEVEL IN TYNE & WEAR

The North East is the region with the highest average level of multiple deprivation, with a mean ward rank of 2,279. The North East also has the largest percentage of its population (56%) living in the most deprived 20% of wards in England on the IMD.

South Tyneside is the most income-deprived district in Tyne & Wear. 35% of the population are income deprived, 5 percentage points higher than North Tyneside, the least income-deprived district in Tyne & Wear (Table 1).

2.1 INCOME DEPRIVATION AT WARD LEVEL IN TYNE & WEAR.

There are 8414 wards within England. Everton in Liverpool is the most income-deprived ward in England. 74% of its population are income deprived. The least income-deprived ward is Central (Oxford), where just over 1% of the population are income deprived. The median ward rank for England is 4207, which is Wallington (South Sutton), has income-deprivation of 16%.

There are 113 wards in Tyne & Wear. Walker in Newcastle is the most income-deprived ward in Tyne & Wear. 58% of the population are income deprived and it is ranked 49th out of the 8414 English wards. The least deprived ward in Tyne & Wear is Cleadon & East Boldon in South Tyneside. It is ranked 7501st and 8% of its population are income-deprived.

There are eight wards in Tyne & Wear where over 50% of the people are income-deprived (Table 2, scores in Table 4). Six of these wards are located along the northern bank of the river Tyne in Newcastle, another is close to the Tyne in North Tyneside (Chirton), with the eighth ward in Sunderland () (Map 1).

In a further 20 wards, 40% or more of the population are income-deprived. Again these wards are primarily located on the rivers , or adjacent to wards where 50% of the population are income deprived. The exceptions are in Newcastle and Cleadon Park in South Tyneside.

Wards with income scores of less than 20% are located to the periphery of the five districts, for example close to the coast or bordering Northumberland. As distance from focal points, such as the rivers and city centres increases, generally the proportion of the population income deprived Tyne & Wear Research and Information 3 Income Deprivation in Tyne & Wear

diminishes. The exceptions are in Gateshead and a cluster of wards in Newcastle (Dene, Heaton, Jesmond and South ). Wards that have an income deprivation score of 40% or more, are twice as deprived as wards with a score of 20%.

Two-thirds of wards in Tyne & Wear are in the top 20% most deprived wards in England (Table 3). Forty-two wards are within the top 10% most deprived wards in England and a further 34 wards are in the top 20% (Map 2). These 76 wards are concentrated along the River Tyne and River Wear, and in the former coal-mining areas of north-west North Tyneside and south Sunderland.

3.0 CHILD POVERTY

In England, the proportion of children who live in households with relatively low incomes has risen threefold since 1979. Children are over-represented in the lower end of the income distribution, with dependent children making up around 20% of the population in 1997/98, but about 30% of those in the bottom section of the income distribution. Around 3.2 million children were living on incomes of less than 60% of the median in this period (before housing costs)6.

DSS evidence is that child poverty has fallen since 1998. In August 2000, 2.67 million children (20%) were living in families claiming DSS-defined ‘key benefits’. DSS key benefits differ slightly from IMD key benefits, and include Jobseekers’ Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Severe Disablement Allowance, Disability Living Allowance and Income Support7. This figure was down 6.1% from 1998 and 3.9% from 1999. Of those children in families on a ‘key benefit’, 60% had been on benefit for at least two years.

The percentage of children living in families claiming a DSS ‘key benefit’ in August 2000, varied from 28% in the London government office region down to 13% in the South East. In the North East it was 26%, the highest behind London. 67% of ‘key benefit’ children were in families claiming Income Support only, 10% were only claiming JSA.

3.1 THE IMD CHILD POVERTY INDEX IN TYNE & WEAR

The most deprived ward in England is Bidston (Wirral), which has a score of 89%. The least deprived ward is Gerrards Cross North, South Bucks (0.54%). The median ranked ward in England is North Molton (North Devon), where 22% of children live in poverty.

The North East has the highest percentage of children in families that claim means-tested benefits (42%), although this region also has the lowest number of children living in families that claim means-tested benefits.

There are 41 wards in Tyne & Wear in the top 10% most deprived wards in England, in terms of IMD child poverty (Map 4). Geographically, these wards are centred along the rivers Tyne and Wear, with clusters around central Gateshead and in the East and West ends of Newcastle. The exceptions are Cleadon Park (South Tyneside), and Woolsington (Newcastle), Collingwood, and Valley (North Tyneside).

The average rate of child poverty in Tyne & Wear is 44.7% (Table 6). In fourteen wards in Tyne & Wear over 65% of children are living in poverty (Table 7). Of these 14 wards, with the highest child poverty, over 50% of the total population are considered to be income deprived in 8 wards (as shown by their income deprivation score). A further 15 wards have over 55% of children living in poverty.

There is, naturally, a strong correlation between general income deprivation within wards in Tyne & Wear and child poverty. In Longbenton (North Tyneside) and Teams (Gateshead), however, the proportion of households with children claiming means-tested benefits (over 55%) is much greater than households with overall income deprivation (Map 3). This shows that in these wards, children are over-represented in the lower end of income-distribution.

West City in Newcastle has the highest percentage (85%) of children aged 16 years old and under living in families that claim means-tested benefits in Tyne & Wear (Table 9). It is ranked just 7th out of the 8414 English wards. The second most deprived ward in Tyne & Wear is Walker in Newcastle, with a score of 74% and ranking of 77th.

The least-deprived ward in Tyne & Wear in terms of child poverty is Jesmond in Newcastle, with a score of 5.62% and rank of 8117th (Table 10). The second least-deprived ward in Tyne & Wear is Cleadon & East Boldon in South Tyneside, with a score of 5.81% and rank of 8090th. The Child Poverty Index scores highlight the extremes of deprivation both within Tyne & Wear and within the districts. There are 79 percentage points between the child poverty scores of the most and least deprived wards in Tyne & Wear (and hence, in Newcastle).

4.9 INCOME DEPRIVATION IN SUNDERLAND

There are 25 wards in Sunderland, of which only one ward, Thorney Close, has an income deprivation score over 50%. Thorney Close does not follow the pattern of the most income- deprived wards in the other four districts, as it is not located on the river. However, the four wards with income deprivation scores of 40% and over form a cluster, two wards are located on the river, South Hylton and Southwick, with Town End Farm and Grindon adjoining these two wards. Only two wards in Sunderland have income deprivation scores of less than 20%; Fulwell and St Michael's. They are half as deprived as Grindon, South Hylton, Southwick, Thorney Close and Town End Farm (Map 21).

Out of the most deprived 10% of wards in England, nine are located in Sunderland. These wards form a 'T' shaped cluster along the river and southwards to Thorney Close. One ward, Hendon, is located away from this main cluster, on the coast (Map 22). Fulwell and St Michael's are the least deprived wards in Sunderland.

4.10 CHILD POVERTY IN SUNDERLAND

Four Sunderland wards have child poverty scores over 65%. These wards, Southwick, South Hylton, Grindon and Thorney Close are almost twice as deprived as Fulwell, St Michael's, St Peters and Washington South wards (Map 23). The majority of wards within Sunderland have child poverty scores between 35% and 55%.

84% of wards in Sunderland are within the most deprived 30% of wards in England, in relation to child poverty. The remaining four wards have a child poverty score less than 35%. Almost one third of Sunderland wards are within the most deprived 10% of wards in England, clustered around the River Wear (Map 24).

In Sunderland the wards within the most deprived 10% of English wards for child poverty, are the same as the most deprived 10% of wards for overall income deprivation. The exception is Colliery, which is within the top 20% of wards ranked on child poverty.
