IMD 2004

The ID 2004 are measures of deprivation for every Super Output Area (lower layer) and local authority area in England. Separate indices at Super Output Area (SOA) level are provided for each of the seven domains of deprivation: (Income, Employment, Health Deprivation and Disability, Education Skills and Training, Barriers to Housing and Services, Crime, the Living Environment). This allows all 32,482 SOAs to be ranked according to how deprived they are relative to each other. This information is then brought together into one overall Index of Multiple Deprivation 2004 (IMD 2004) There are also two supplementary indices, the Income Deprivation Affecting Children index (IDAC) and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People index (IDAOP).
