The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 1 Executive Summary

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 (IMD 2007) is a nationally recognised measure of deprivation at the small area (Super Output Area – SOA) level. It measures deprivation in its broadest sense by assessing indicators relating to income, employment, health and disability, education, skills and training, barriers to housing and services, crime and the living environment.

It is an important tool for identifying the most disadvantaged areas in England and can be used locally to help prioritise services and resources to help tackle health inequalities and social exclusion.

Shropshire Results

• In terms of deprivation overall, 2% of Shropshire County’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England. This has remained unchanged since 2004. Only 4 Shropshire SOAs fall within the most deprived fifth nationally. These are located in Harlescott, Meole Brace, Monkmoor and Castle. 13% live within the least deprived fifth – this represents a 3% decrease from 2004.

• 11.0% of Shropshire’s population, 13.2% of children and 15.4% of older people live in income deprivation. These percentages are higher than in 2004 but are still lower than the England average.

• 7.9% of Shropshire’s working age population is employment deprived. This rate has improved since 2004 and is lower than the average for England.

• 2% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England when it comes to health deprivation and disability.

• In terms of education, skills and training deprivation, 6% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived quintile. Levels are highest when looking specifically at adults.

• The barriers to housing and services domain overall, and particularly the wider barriers sub-domain experienced profound change since 2004 with Shropshire County becoming more deprived. Overall, 40% of Shropshire’s population live within the fifth most deprived areas in England. In terms of wider barriers, 2% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England. Whereas in 2004, the majority of Shropshire’s population lived within the least deprived fifth of areas nationally, only 4% do so in 2007.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 2 Shropshire being a rural County experiences high levels of geographical barriers deprivation, with 47% of its population living within the most deprived quintile.

• 3% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England for crime.

• 8% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived quintile for the living environment. 22% fall within this quintile for the ‘indoors’ sub- domain whereas only 1% do so for the ‘outdoors’ sub-domain.

County and District Summary

• Overall, Shropshire is a relatively affluent area. Using the average population-weighted scores, Shropshire is ranked as being the 106th most deprived County out of 149 Counties in England (111th in 2004).

• There are six summary measures that can be used at District level, these are: Average Score, Average Rank, Extent, Local Concentration, Income Scale, and Employment Scale. Out of all Shropshire Districts, Shrewsbury and Atcham appeared the most deprived in terms of all of these except average score (Oswestry) and average rank (North Shropshire). Bridgnorth appeared least deprived in terms of all measures except income scale and employment scale (both South Shropshire).

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 3 Introduction to the Indices of Deprivation 2007

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 (IMD 2007) is a nationally recognised measure of deprivation at the small area level. It is an important tool for identifying the most disadvantaged areas in England and can be used locally to help prioritise services and resources to help tackle health inequalities and social exclusion.

The Department for Communities and Local Government commissioned the Social Disadvantage Research Centre (SDRC) at the Department of Social Policy and Social Work at the University of Oxford to update the IMD 2004 for England.

The new Indices of Deprivation 2007 were produced in December 2007. Although the update is branded as the 2007 version, the majority of data used to construct it was actually taken in 2005 and thus reflects deprivation at that time.

HOW THE INDEX IS CALCULATED

The model of multiple deprivation which underpins the IMD 2007 is based on the idea of distinct dimensions of deprivation (domains), each with their own additive impact on multiple deprivation, which can be recognised and measured separately.

The IMD 2007 brings together a total of 38 different indicators across 7 domains. The scores for each domain are weighted as follows and combined to create the overall IMD 2007 score:

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 4 Domains of Examples of measures Weighting deprivation Households on range of Income 22.5% benefits Recipients of Jobseekers Employment Allowance or Incapacity 22.5% Benefit Health, Deprivation and Mortality rates, hospital 13.5% Disability admissions Education, Skills and Educational attainment, 13.5% Training truancy Housing overcrowding, Barriers to Housing and access to owner-occupation 9.3% Services and services (e.g. GP surgery) Burglary, theft, criminal Crime 9.3% damage, violence Living Environment Housing condition, air quality 9.3%

The IMD 2007 is based on the small area geography known as Super Output Areas (SOAs). There are 32,482 SOAs in England, each with an average population of 1,500 people. There are several types of SOAs – lower layer SOAs are the kind used for the IMD.

Each SOA in England is scored for each domain of deprivation and receives an overall IMD 2007 score.

DOMAINS

The Income Deprivation Domain measures the percentage of people living in low-income families and also includes two sub-domains: • The IDACI score (Income Deprivation Affecting Children) is the proportion of children 0-15 living in income-deprived households as a proportion of all children 0-15. • The IDAOPI score (Income Deprivation Affecting Older People) refers to adults 60 or over living in pension credit (guarantee) households as a proportion of all those 60 or over.

The Employment Domain measures the percentage of people who want to work but are unable to do so due to unemployment, sickness or disability.

The Health and Disability Domain identifies areas with relatively high rates of people who die prematurely or whose quality of life is impaired by poor health or who are disabled.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 5 The Education, Skills and Training Domain measures the lack of qualifications amongst children and adults. It is made up of two sub-domains: • Children and young people. • Skills (working age adults).

The Barriers to Housing and Services Domain is made up of two sub domains: • Wider barriers: refers to issues relating to access to housing (overcrowding and affordability) and homelessness. • Geographical barriers: measures poor geographical access to key services such as supermarkets and primary schools.

The Crime and Disorder Domain measures the rate of recorded crime across four major crime themes (burglary, theft, criminal damage and violence).

The Living Environment Domain is divided into two sub-domains: • The indoors living environment measures the quality of housing. • The outdoors living environment contains measures about air quality and road traffic accidents.

HOW THE SCORES ARE ANALYSED

Each SOA is ranked according to its score, from 1 (most deprived in England) to 32,482 (least deprived in England). These SOAs are then split into national deprivation quintiles (comparing scores across England). Unless specifically mentioned, these were used in this report.

To get a more meaningful local picture, each SOA in Shropshire County is ranked from 1 (most deprived in Shropshire) to 192 (least deprived in Shropshire). Shropshire SOAs are then divided into local deprivation quintiles (comparing SOAs within Shropshire County itself) which will be used for the future profiling and monitoring of health and social inequalities in Shropshire County.

Maps representing local as well as national quintiles have been used in this report.

The results are then summarised at County Council and District level. The IMD 2007 scores together with these summaries are sometimes referred to as the ID 2007 (Indices of Deprivation).

Six summary measures of the overall IMD 2007 have been produced at County and District level to allow comparisons to be made between Counties and Districts in England. These are presented in the ‘County and District Summary’ chapter.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 6 COMPARABILITY WITH IMD 2004

The IMD 2007 updates the IMD 2004, for the most part retaining the same methodology, domains and indicators.

This has, however, not been possible for the income domain where as a result of major changes to the social security system, particularly in the area of tax credits, indicators have ceased to exist. Where possible, indicators were selected in that domain which map as closely as possible to their predecessors.

The IMD 2007 is therefore comparable to the IMD 2004 - most change is likely to reflect real relative change in deprivation between 2004 and 2007. However, caution should be exercised around income domain score comparisons.

In contrast, comparability of the IMD 2004 to its predecessor, the IMD 2000, is not possible since significant changes were made to its domains.

IMPORTANT POINTS

The ID 2007 identifies concentrations of deprivation. Population numbers quoted in our results refer to those living in areas of particular deprivation concentrations – not all deprived people live in deprived areas and conversely, not everyone living in a deprived area is deprived.

It is also important to note that an area’s index score rank is affected by the scores of every other area. So it is impossible to tell whether a change in score with time is a real change in the level of deprivation in the area or whether it is due to the scores of the areas going up or down.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 7 Shropshire County profile

Shropshire is a diverse, large, predominantly rural inland county, situated in the West Midlands. With a population of just 289,300 and at only 0.9 persons per hectare, the County is one of the most sparsely populated in England.

The County contains several small market towns; only four of these have a population of over 10,000 according to the 2001 Census. Shrewsbury is the County town, has the status of sub-regional foci in the adopted Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) (a spatial strategy which sets out the region’s policies in relation to the development and use of land and forms part of the County’s development plan). In the emerging RSS, Shrewsbury is defined as a ‘settlement of significant development’. The town is home to around a quarter of the County’s population and is a key employment, shopping and cultural centre for Shropshire and mid-Wales, and a popular destination for tourists and visitors.

Shropshire’s historic market towns provide jobs and a range of local shops and services for their resident communities and large rural hinterlands. The County’s economy is based mainly on agriculture, tourism, food industries, healthcare and other public services.

Shropshire has strong links with the neighbouring unitary council, Telford & Wrekin. The eastern part of Shropshire also has strong connections with the West Midlands conurbation. Parts of North Shropshire have strong links with the Potteries and with towns in south Cheshire, and are also influenced by Merseyside and Manchester. Oswestry, the second largest town in Shropshire, has strong links with adjacent areas within Wales. The southern and western parts of the County are generally more remote and self contained and have been identified as a Rural Regeneration Zone.

Shropshire has a rich and varied natural and historic environment. About one third of the County is upland, mostly to the south and west, the highest point being Brown Clee at 540 metres. Almost 81,000 hectares of the South Shropshire hills are designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and contain a variety of landscapes varying from arable farming to remote moorland and extensive woodlands (this includes 491 hectares in Telford and Wrekin). Approximately 2% of Shropshire is covered by Sites of Special Scientific Interest and woodland covers 7.7% of the land area.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 16 SHROPSHIRE SOAs

Of the 192 SOAs in Shropshire, only 4 fall within the most deprived quintile nationally (Table 3). These are located within the electoral wards of Harlescott, Meole Brace and Monkmoor in Shrewsbury and Atcham District and Castle in Oswestry District. The number of SOAs which fall into the most deprived quintile nationally has increased from 3 to 4 since 2004.

The number of SOAs which fall into the least deprived quintile has also fallen from 28 to 23 since 2004. The least deprived SOA in 2007 fell in the ward of Bridgnorth Castle in Bridgnorth.

SOAs in the wards of Monkmoor in Shrewsbury and Atcham District and Castle in Oswestry District are now in the most deprived quintile nationally whereas in 2004 they were not. An SOA in the ward of Ludlow Henley is no longer in the most deprived quintile, however it still remains the most deprived SOA in South Shropshire.

An SOA in the ward of Ludlow Sheet with Ludford in South Shropshire has experienced the greatest improvement in terms of deprivation levels. Its national percentile ranking went from 73% in 2004 to 85% in 2007 (quintile 4 to 5).

An SOA in the ward of Sutton and Reabrook in Shrewsbury and Atcham District has experienced the greatest decline – its national percentile ranking decreased from 88% in 2004 to 74% in 2007 (quintile 5 to 4).

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 18 Income deprivation

SUMMARY • 11.0% of Shropshire’s population, 13.2% of children and 15.4% of older people live in income deprivation. • These percentages are higher than in 2004 but are still lower than the England average. • Overall, Oswestry has the highest rates of income deprivation in Shropshire (12.3%) and Bridgnorth the lowest (9.5%). • At an SOA level, the percentage of people who live in income deprivation overall ranges from 2% to 37%. • The most deprived SOA overall fell in the electoral ward of Harlescott. • The most deprived SOA for children and older people fell in the electoral ward of Monkmoor.

Income deprivation is considered to be one of the most important aspects of deprivation and subsequently is given a weighting of 22.5%. This domain measures the percentage of people living in low-income households.

The income deprivation domain includes two sub-domains:

• Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) – this measures the proportion of children under 16 who are living in families in receipt of means-tested benefits or in families in receipt of working families or disabled person’s tax credits but whose income (before housing costs) is below 60% of the median income • Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI) – this measures the percentage of the population over 60 who are living on means tested benefits

The following indicators have been used to calculate the income deprivation scores:

• Adults and children in Income Support Households (2005) • Adults and children in Income-Based Job Seekers Allowance Households (2005) • Adults and children in Pension Credit (Guarantee) Households (2005) • Adults and children in those Working Tax Credit households where there are children in receipt of Child Tax Credit whose equivalised income (excluding housing benefits) is below 60% of the median before housing costs (2005) • Adults and children in Child Tax Credit Households (who are not eligible for Income Support, Income-Based Job Seekers Allowance, Pension Credit or Working Tax Credit) whose equivalised income

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 19 (excluding housing benefits) is below 60% of the median before housing costs (2005) • National Asylum Support Service (NASS) supported asylum seekers in England in receipt of subsistence support, accommodation support, or both (2005)

Caution should be exercised around making comparisons with the IMD 2004 for the income domain, since some indicators used in the IMD 2007 have been altered following major changes to the social security system.

Scores for this domain are calculated in a different way to most of the others – the scores represent actual rates of deprivation on an individual basis rather than allocating an overall score to whole SOAs.

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY

Income deprivation overall The proportion of people living in income deprivation has increased in Shropshire from 9.4% in 2004 to 11.0% in 2007. This is lower than the England average of 15.6%.

Income deprivation affecting children The proportion of children under 16’s living in income deprivation increased slightly – from 12.9% to 13.2%. This is significantly lower than the England average of 21.0%.

Income deprivation affecting older people People over 60 experienced a large increase – from 12.9% to 15.4% (Table 4). This is however still significantly lower than the average for England of 20.0%.

Income deprivation overall Oswestry is the most deprived District in Shropshire (12.3% of its population) and Bridgnorth the least (9.5%).

All five Districts retained the same relative rank when compared to each other as in 2004.

Since 2004, all five Districts became more deprived. The proportion of people living in income deprivation increased the most in South Shropshire (by 2.2%).

Income deprivation affecting children Oswestry and Shrewsbury and Atcham are the most deprived Districts (14.0% of their population is income-deprived) and Bridgnorth the least (10.2%).

There was not much change in relative ranking of the five Shropshire Districts since 2004 except for Shrewsbury and Atcham that increased its proportion of children living in income deprivation to match Oswestry’s score, thus becoming the two most deprived Districts.

Since 2004, only Oswestry improved. The percentage of its children living in income deprivation has decreased by 0.8%. South Shropshire’s percentage, on the other hand, increased the most (by 0.8%).

Income deprivation affecting older people Oswestry is the most deprived District in Shropshire (17.1% of its population) and South Shropshire the least (12.4%) (Table 5).

Since 2004, Bridgnorth overtook Shrewsbury and Atcham in terms of being more deprived. The relative ranking of Shropshire’s five Districts was otherwise unchanged.

Since 2004, every District in Shropshire became more deprived. The percentage of older people living in income deprivation increased the most in Bridgnorth (by 3.0%).

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 31 Employment deprivation

SUMMARY • 7.9% of Shropshire’s working age population is employment deprived. • This rate has improved since 2004 and is lower than the average for England. • In Shropshire, Oswestry has the highest levels of employment deprivation (9.5%) and Bridgnorth the lowest (6.5%). • The levels of people who are involuntarily out of work ranges from 2% to 20% within Shropshire SOAs. • An SOA within the ward of Harlescott has the highest deprivation levels in Shropshire.

The employment domain is also considered to be one of the most important facets of deprivation and is weighted at 22.5%. This domain measures the percentage of the working age population who want to work but are unable to do so due to unemployment, sickness or disability. Six indicators were used to calculate the employment deprivations scores: • Recipients of Jobseekers Allowance for men aged 18-64 and women aged 18-59 (2005) • Participants in the New Deal for the 18-24s who are not in receipt of Jobseekers Allowance (2005) • Participants in the New Deal for 25+ who are not in receipt of Jobseekers Allowance (2005) • Participants in the New Deal for lone parents (2005) • Incapacity Benefit recipients aged 18-59 (women) and 18-64 (men) (2005) • Severe Disablement Allowance recipients aged 18-59 (women) and 18- 64 (men)

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY

The proportion of the working age population living in employment deprivation in Shropshire has improved from 8.1% in 2004 to 7.9% in 2007 (Table 9). This is lower than the England average of 10.2%.

SUMMARY • 2% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England and 5% within the least deprived fifth. These rates are similar to those in 2004. • An SOA in Harlescott is the most deprived in Shropshire.

This domain identifies areas with relatively high rates of people who die prematurely, whose quality of life is impaired by poor health or who are disabled. The scores are derived from four measures: • Years of potential life lost (2001-2005) • Comparative Illness and Disability Ratio (2005) • Measures of hospital admissions (2003-2005) • The proportion of adults under 60 suffering from mood or anxiety disorders based on prescribing, suicide mortality rate, hospital admissions and health benefits data (2001-2005)

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY

2% of the County’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England, 5% live within the least deprived.

The most populated quintile is quintile 4 (with 44% of Shropshire County’s population) (Table 12).

Apart from a 1% fall within the least deprived quintile, there has not been much change since 2004 in terms of the proportion of Shropshire’s population living within each quintile.

Shrewsbury and Atcham is the only District with a proportion of its population living in the most deprived fifth of areas in England (6% - this represents a 3% increase from 2004).

On the other hand, only 2 Districts have inhabitants within the least deprived quintile: Bridgnorth with 23% (27% in 2004) and Oswestry with 4% (0% in 2004). 6% of South Shropshire’s population fell within the least deprived quintile in 2004 whereas none did so in 2007 (Table 13).

Since 2004, North Shropshire experienced a 12% drop in its population living in quintile 3 – this was distributed into quintiles 2 and 4.

Oswestry became less deprived, with a shift away from quintile 2 into the less deprived quintiles.

Shrewsbury and Atcham became slightly more deprived with a move away from quintile 4 into the more deprived quintiles.

South Shropshire experienced a move away from quintiles 3 and 5 and a large increase in quintile 2 (by 18%).

Bridgnorth experienced a small drop in the least deprived quintile and a small increase in quintiles 2, 3 and 4.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 42 Education, skills and training deprivation

SUMMARY • 6% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England and 22% within the least deprived fifth. An SOA in Harlescott is the most deprived overall. • In terms of the children and young people’s sub-domain, 4% of the County’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England and 30% within the least. • The County is more deprived when looking at working age adults with no or low qualifications, with 13% of Shropshire’s population falling within the most deprived fifth of areas in England and only 9% within the least.

This domain measures deprivation in terms of lack of educational attainment, skills and training for children and adults.

The education, skills and training deprivation domain includes two sub- domains:

• Children and young people – scores are derived from the following indicators: ¾ Average test score of pupils at key stage 2 (2004-2005) ¾ Average test score of pupils at key stage 3 (2004-2005) ¾ Best of 8 average capped points score at key stage 4 (includes results of GCSEs, GNVQs and other vocational equivalents) (2004-2005) ¾ Proportion of young people not staying in school or non-advanced education above 16 (2005) ¾ Secondary school absence rate (2004-2005) ¾ Proportion of those aged under 21 not entering higher education (2002- 2005)

• Skills – this relates to the working age adult population. Only one indicator is used to measure this: ¾ Proportion of working age adults with no or low qualifications (2001)

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY

Education, skills and training deprivation overall 6% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England – this is the least populated quintile. In contrast, 22% live within the least deprived quintile. The most populated quintile is quintile 4 (with 34% of Shropshire County’s population) (Table 15).

Education, skills and training deprivation overall In Shropshire 13 out of 192 SOAs fall within the most deprived quintile nationally (15 in 2004). 4 of these fall into the 10% most deprived. These areas are located within the electoral wards of Harlescott, Meole Brace, Sundorne and Battlefield and Heathgates all in Shrewsbury and were also the most deprived SOAs for this domain in 2004.

Three areas in Shrewsbury located within Porthill and Underdale were found to be some of the least deprived in England, this highlights the sharp contrast between parts of Shrewsbury. The number of SOAs which fall into the least deprived quintile has increased from 39 to 40 since 2004 (Table 21). An area in Porthill in Shrewsbury

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 52 remains the least deprived in the County with a national percentile ranking of 99%.

An SOA located in Underdale in Shrewsbury has seen the greatest decline in terms of deprivation since 2004. Its national percentile ranking decreased from 51% to 37% since then (quintile 3 to 2).

In contrast, an SOA located in Ludlow Sheet with Ludford in South Shropshire has seen the greatest improvement in terms of deprivation since 2004. Its national percentile ranking went from 63% in 2004 to 76% in 2007 (both quintile 4).

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 58 Barriers to housing and services

SUMMARY • This domain and particularly the wider barriers sub-domain experienced profound change since 2004 with Shropshire County becoming more deprived. • Overall, 40% of Shropshire’s population live within the fifth most deprived areas in England and only 8% live within the least deprived fifth. In particular, 58% of North Shropshire’s population falls within the most deprived quintile. An SOA in Lawley is the most deprived in Shropshire. • In terms of wider barriers, 2% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England. Whereas in 2004, the majority of Shropshire’s population lived within the least deprived fifth of areas nationally, only 4% do so in 2007. The number of SOAs which fall into the least deprived quintile has decreased by 112 since 2004 to only 8 in 2007. Every single SOA in Shropshire has experienced a decline in their national percentile rankings since 2004 for this sub-domain. • Shropshire being a rural County, experiences high levels of geographical barriers deprivation, with 47% of its population living within the most deprived fifth nationally and only 6% living within the least deprived. In particular, 60% of North Shropshire’s population falls within the most deprived quintile.

The Barriers to housing and services domain includes two sub-domains:

• Wider barriers– this includes issues relating to access to housing, such as overcrowding and affordability, as well as homelessness. The scores are derived from the following indicators: ¾ Household overcrowding (2001) ¾ District level rate of acceptances for applications for assistance under the homelessness provisions of the 1996 Housing Act, assigned to SOAs (2005) ¾ Difficulty of Access to owner-occupation (2005)

• Geographical barriers – this measures poor geographical access to key services that are important for day-to-day life. Indicators used to calculate scores are: ¾ Road distance to a GP surgery (2005) ¾ Road distance to a general store or supermarket (2005) ¾ Road distance to a primary school (2004-2005) ¾ Road distance to a post office or sub post office (2005)

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 59

Traditionally, measures of deprivation have tended to be biased towards urban areas in the sense that these areas are more likely to be depicted as deprived than rural areas. This is however not the case with the Geographical barriers sub-domain – access to services is a more pertinent issue to rural areas such as Shropshire County and is therefore particularly relevant in this case.

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY

Barriers to housing and services overall 40% of the County’s population live within the fifth most deprived areas in England – this is the most populated quintile. In contrast, only 8% live within the least deprived fifth (Table 24).

Since 2004, Shropshire County has become significantly more deprived in terms of barriers to housing and services. There has been a 17% shift of the County’s population away from the least deprived fifth of areas in England, into quintile 3 (by 2%), quintile 2 (by 10%) and into the most deprived quintile (by 6%).

Quintile 3 is the most populated (with 43% of Shropshire’s total population) (Table 25).

This sub-domain experienced the largest change since 2004 out of all IMD 2007 domains and sub-domains. Shropshire has become significantly more deprived since 2004. There has been a 57% drop in the proportion of Shropshire’s population living within the least deprived quintile. In contrast, there has been a 31% increase in quintile 3, and a 26% increase in quintile 2, the second most deprived quintile.

In contrast, only 6% live within the least deprived fifth of areas (Table 26).

Shropshire has become slightly less deprived in this sub-domain since 2004. There was a 2% drop within the most deprived quintile and a 4% drop in quintile 3, and a 4% increase in quintile 4 as well as a 1% increase in quintile 2.

Barriers to housing and services overall Out of the five Shropshire Districts, North Shropshire has the highest proportion of its population living within the most deprived fifth of areas in England (58%). Shrewsbury and Atcham had the lowest (28%).

Shrewsbury and Atcham has the highest proportion of its population living within the least deprived fifth of areas in England (11%) (Table 27).

North Shropshire became more deprived since 2004. The County experienced a 33% shift away from the least deprived quintile into the most deprived quintile (by 15%), quintile 3 (by 13%) and quintile 4 (by 5%).

Oswestry also became more deprived with a 32% decrease in the proportion of its population living within the least deprived quintile and a 20% increase living within the most deprived quintile.

Shrewsbury and Atcham experienced a 17% increase in its population living within quintile 2 areas, and a decrease in all other quintiles (including a 7% drop in the least deprived quintile).

South Shropshire also became more deprived, with a 17% drop in the least deprived quintile and a 16% increase for quintile 2.

Bridgnorth became more deprived, with an 11% decrease within the least deprived quintile and an increase for the 3 most deprived quintiles.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 66 Wider barriers deprivation None of Shropshire County’s population lived within the most deprived quintile in 2004. In 2007, 5% of Shrewsbury and Atcham’s population and 3% of North Shropshire’s population live in these areas.

In contrast, whereas in 2004 all Shropshire Districts except Shrewsbury and Atcham had over half of their population living within the least deprived fifth of areas in England, this is not the case for any Shropshire District in 2007. Only Bridgnorth has inhabitants living within these areas at all (23%) (Table 28). This is an incredible shift to occur within 3 years, especially since the IMD 2004 and 2007 are comparable when it comes to this sub-domain.

Whereas in 2004, 95% of North Shropshire’s population lived within the least deprived quintile, none do so in 2007. 46% now live within quintile 2 and 45% within quintile 3.

A similar change occurred in Oswestry and South Shropshire.

Shrewsbury and Atcham experienced an 18% drop in the least deprived quintile as well as within quintile 2, and a 37% increase in quintile 2.

Bridgnorth seems to be the least deprived of all five Shropshire Districts. It experienced a 60% drop within the least deprived quintile, a 29% increase for quintile 4 and a 31% increase in quintile 3. However, none of its population live within areas in the most deprived or second most deprived quintiles.

North Shropshire experienced only little change from 2004 – a 3% drop in quintile 2 and a corresponding increase in quintile 4.

Oswestry became more deprived with a shift away from quintiles 4 and 3 (3% each) into quintile 2.

Shrewsbury and Atcham on the other hand, became less deprived with a shift away from quintile 2 (by 4%) and quintile 3 (by 10%) into quintile 4.

South Shropshire also became comparatively less deprived than other Districts in England with a 15% decrease in the most deprived quintile and a corresponding increase in quintile 2. There was also a 3% drop in quintile 4 and a corresponding increase in the least deprived quintile.

Bridgnorth became relatively less deprived with a 6% move away from quintile 2 into quintiles 3 and 4.

SUMMARY • 3% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England and 48% live within the least deprived fifth. • Levels of crime in the county are relatively low in Shropshire. The most deprived areas fall mostly within the urban areas of the County. • The most deprived SOA is located within the electoral ward of Castle in Oswestry.

The purpose of this domain is to measure the rate of recorded crime for four major volume crime types – burglary, theft, criminal damage and violence – representing the risk of personal and material victimisation at a small area level.

The indicators used to measure this aspect of deprivation are:

• Burglary (4 recorded crime offence types, April 2004-March 2005) • Theft (5 recorded crime offence types, April 2004-March 2005) • Criminal damages (10 recorded crime offence types, April 2004-March 2005) • Violence (14 recorded crime offence types, April 2004-March 2005)

Shrewsbury and Atcham experienced a modest shift away from the extremes – quintiles 1, 4 and 5 – into quintiles 2 and 3.

South Shropshire became less deprived overall since 2004. None of its population lives within the 2 most deprived quintiles in 2007 and the proportion living within the least deprived quintile has increased by 26%.

Bridgnorth has become comparatively more deprived since 2004 then other Districts in England. The District has experienced a shift away from the least deprived quintile (by 7%) and quintile 4 (by 8%) into quintile 3 (by 6%) and quintile 2 (by 8%).

SUMMARY • Overall, 8% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England and 24% within the least. • In terms of ‘indoors environment’ deprivation, 22% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived quintile and 13% live within the least. In particular, 42% of South Shropshire’s population fall within the most deprived quintile. • In terms of ‘outdoors environment’ deprivation, only 1% of Shropshire’s population live within the most deprived fifth of areas in England and 68% live within the least. • The most deprived area is located within the electoral ward of Bitterley with Stoke St Milborough in terms of living environment overall and the indoors sub-domain. An SOA in Underdale is the most deprived in terms of the outdoors sub-domain.

This domain measures deprivation relating to characteristics of the living environment.

It includes two sub-domains:

• The ‘indoors’ living environment – this measures quality of housing. The scores are derived from the following indicators: ¾ Social and private housing in poor condition (2003-2005) ¾ Houses without central heating (2001)

• The ‘outdoors’ living environment – this contains measures about air quality and road traffic accidents. Indicators used to calculate scores: ¾ Air quality (2005) ¾ Road traffic accidents involving injury to pedestrians and cyclists (2004-2006)

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY

Living environment deprivation overall 8% of Shropshire County’s population lives within the most deprived fifth of areas in England. This compares to 24% who live within the least deprived quintile.

The two most populated quintiles are quintile 2 (25%) and the least deprived quintile (24%) (Table 36).

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 81

Since 2004, there has been a shift away from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quintile into both extremes – the percentage of Shropshire’s population living within the most deprived quintile increased by 4% and that living within the least deprived quintile increased by 5%.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 in Shropshire County 96 District and County Summary

SUMMARY • Overall, Shropshire is a relatively affluent area • Using the average population-weighted scores, Shropshire is ranked as being the 106th most deprived County out of 149 Counties in England (111th in 2004) • There are six summary measures that can be used at District level, these are: Average Score, Average Rank, Extent, Local Concentration, Income Scale and Employment Scale. Out of all Shropshire Districts, Shrewsbury and Atcham appeared the most deprived in terms of all of these except average score (Oswestry) and average rank (North Shropshire). Bridgnorth appeared least deprived in terms of all measures except income scale and employment scale (both South Shropshire)

The Index of multiple deprivation at SOA level is summarised at County and District level using 6 different measures, allowing us to compare Shropshire deprivation levels with other Counties and Districts in England (Table 45).

These measures focus on different aspects of multiple deprivation and no single summary measure is favoured over any other.

Table 45 Definition of summary measures used for Counties and Districts

The ‘Average Scores’ and ‘Average Ranks’ measures are two ways of depicting the average level of deprivation across the entire County or District. These are the population-weighted averages of the combined scores and ranks for the SOAs in a County or District. The ‘Extent’ measure is the proportion of a County’s or District’s population living in the most deprived SOAs in England. The ‘Local Concentration’ measure shows the severity of multiple deprivation in each County and District by measuring ‘hot spots’ of deprivation. It is the population-weighted average of the ranks of the County or District’s most deprived LSOAs that contain exactly 10% of the County or District’s population. ‘Income Scale’ is the number of people who are income deprived. ‘Employment Scale’ is the number of people who are employment deprived.
