English Indices of Deprivation
The English indices of deprivation are accredited official statistics on relative levels of deprivation in England, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG).
The English indices of deprivation 2025 were published by the MHCLG on . All resources on this page have been updated with the 2025 data.
The Indices measure relative levels of deprivation in 33,755 Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOA) in England. Each LSOA contains approximately 1,500 residents or 650 households. They are ranked from 1 (most deprived) to 33,755 (least deprived) and assigned to a decile ranging from 1 (most deprived 10%) to 10 (least deprived 10%). Local authorities in England are also ranked from 1 to 296 based on a population weighted average rank or score of the LSOA data.
Relative deprivation is measured using 55 indicators which are grouped across seven different domains: Income; Employment; Education, skills & training; Health & disability; Crime; Barriers to housing & services; Living environment. Each domain is combined and weighted to create the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), the official measure of deprivation in England.

Electoral Ward boundaries and LSOA boundaries do not always perfectly align and so it is impossible to aggregate from LSOA to ward exactly. Instead a ‘best-fit’ methodology is used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to assign LSOAs to the most appropriate ward.
