Areas are assigned a score based on how relatively disadvantaged that area is compared with others. A low score indicates relatively greater disadvantage in general, whereas a high score indicates a relative lack of disadvantage in general. Areas are then ordered from lowest to highest score and divided into four groups, or ‘quartiles’.

Highly Disadvantaged: 25% of areas with the lowest scores (1st quartile) Mildly Disadvantaged: 2nd quartile, Mildly Advantaged: 3rd quartile Highly Advantaged: 25% of areas with the highest scores (4th quartile)
