District Deprivation Summary

Copeland

2015

The Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) The IMD are produced by the Department for Communities & Local Government (DCLG) to consider the unmet needs of small areas, known as Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs), caused by a lack of resources of across seven domains:  Income;  Employment;  Education Skills and Training;  Health and Disability;  Crime;  Barriers to Housing and Services; and  Living Environment.

In addition to the above, there are two supplementary indices:

 The Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI); and  The Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI).

Deprivation scores for each LSOA across all of the above domains are also combined to create an overall Index of Multiple Deprivation score and rank for each LSOA.

When deprivation scores are combined for all LSOAs in Copeland, the district is classified as the second most deprived district in for overall deprivation and falls within the 30% most deprived nationally for overall deprivation. It also falls within the 20% most deprived nationally in terms of employment deprivation and the 10% most deprived nationally in terms of health & disability deprivation.
