Introduction
The purpose of the English Indices of Deprivation 2015 is to identify small areas of England which are experiencing multiple aspects of deprivation. Key users of the Indices are local authorities where the Indices are used to identify the local areas with the greatest level of need for support or intervention. Examples include analysing community safety data to evaluate neighbourhood policing and partnerships, using the Indices as local measures of community cohesion, investigating patterns of ‘risk of youth offending’, identifying the greatest health inequalities between the most and least deprived populations or for context in community safety strategic assessments.
The Indices of Deprivation 2015 is based on the concept that deprivation consists of more than just poverty. Poverty is not having enough money to get by whereas deprivation refers to a general lack of resources and opportunities.
The Indices of Deprivation 2015 is the collective name for a group of 7 indices or domains which measure different aspects of deprivation.

There are also two supplementary indices: the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI). Data for these indices are already included in the main Income index, so are not included in the group of 7 making up the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015.
Each of the above indices is made up of different factors which are combined to give an overall score.
Small Areas
The Department of Communities and Local Government have divided every local authority into small areas called Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOA). Haringey has been divided into 145 LSOAs (England has a total of 32,844). Each ward in Haringey is made up of 7, 8 or 9 LSOAs. The idea is that these LSOAs are relatively equal in population size and that their boundaries remain stable over time. The population size of the LSOAs in Haringey range from between 1,150 to 2,320, with the average size being 1,786.
Larger Areas
LSOA deprivation data can be aggregated to produce deprivation rankings for larger areas (wards and local authorities) of geography. This is done by using a weighted average based on the population size of each LSOA. An average can be taken of either the score or the rank, producing two measures of deprivation for each domain, rank of average score and rank of average rank. Throughout this report, where larger areas of geography have been quoted, the rank of average score has been used.
Below is a table summarising how many local authorities, wards and LSOAs make up England, London and Haringey.
Ranking
All 32,844 LSOAs in England are ranked in comparison with each other. A rank of 1 is assigned to the most deprived LSOA, and a rank of 32,844 is assigned to the least deprived LSOA. The same method follows for ranking larger levels of geography (a rank of 1 is assigned to the most deprived ward, and a rank of 7,699 is assigned to the least deprived ward).
It is important to remember that the Index of Multiple Deprivation is a relative not an absolute measure of deprivation. Being a relative measure, there will always be, for example, 10% of areas that are defined as the most deprived 10%, even if significant improvements are made to the absolute levels of deprivation in the country. When considering the various domain indices, the overall rank of an LSOA may not change, but this does not mean there have been no changes to the level of deprivation. Conversely, an area may increase or decrease in rank without any actual change in levels of deprivation occurring. This reflects the fact that all change is relative. For example, if an area sees no change in the rate of income deprivation between two Indices but other LSOAs do improve their figures, the LSOA in question may have a lower domain rank because it has been ‘overtaken’ by other LSOAs, even if its score is the same in both years.
