Indices of Deprivation 2010 Income domain, Local Authority District Rank of Average Rank

This dataset contains a summary measure of the Indices of Deprivation 2010 Income domain at local authority district level. It puts the 326 Local Authority Districts into a rank order based the population weighted average rank of all LSOAs in the LAD. A rank of 1 is the most deprived.

The English Indices of Deprivation provide a relative measure of deprivation at small area level across England. Areas are ranked from least deprived to most deprived on seven different dimensions of deprivation and an overall composite measure of multiple deprivation. Most of the data underlying the 2010 indices are for the year 2008.

The Indices are designed for small areas, but one way of summarising relative deprivation at local authority level is by calculating the average rank of the LSOAs within it.

For the IMD and each domain, the summary measure is calculated by averaging all of the LSOA ranks in each local authority district. For the purpose of calculation, LSOAs are ranked such that the most deprived LSOA is given the rank of 32,482. The LSOA ranks are population weighted within a local authority district to take account of the fact that LSOA size can vary. (For simplicity in summarising the domains, the same total population size is used for all domains.) Finally the LADs are ranked according to the average rank of the LSOAs, from 1 to 326 where 1 is the most deprived.

The ‘Rank of average rank’ summary measure of for local authorities is also published for the IMD at: [http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/statistics/xls/1871689.xls](http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/statistics/xls/1871689.xls).

本数据集收录了2010年英格兰地方当局辖区层面的贫困指数汇总度量。该指数基于地方当局辖区内所有地方统计区域的加权平均排名，将326个地方当局辖区进行排序。排名1代表最贫困。英格兰贫困指数提供了一系列相对贫困的衡量标准，涵盖了英格兰小区域的七个不同贫困维度以及多维度贫困的总体综合衡量。2010年指数的大部分数据均来源于2008年。该指数旨在针对小区域进行设计，但总结地方当局层面的相对贫困程度的一种方法，是通过计算辖区内部地方统计区域的平均排名。对于综合贫困指数（IMD）以及每个领域，汇总度量是通过计算每个地方当局辖区内部所有地方统计区域的排名平均值得出。在计算过程中，地方统计区域的排名是以人口加权的方式进行的，以考虑到地方统计区域大小的变化。为简化领域的汇总，所有领域的总人口规模保持一致。最后，地方当局辖区根据地方统计区域的平均排名进行排序，排名从1至326，其中1为最贫困。地方当局的‘平均排名排名’汇总度量在以下链接中公布：[http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/statistics/xls/1871689.xls](http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/statistics/xls/1871689.xls)。
