Deprivation Scores Based on 1991 and 2001 Census Area Statistics

These deprivation scores are based on those created by Townsend, Morris, Carstairs, Jarman and the Department of the Environment (DoE).<br> <br> Calculating measures of deprivation is perhaps one of the commonest uses of census data. Data on, for example, housing, employment, social class and availability of cars are used to create a single measure of area deprivation. There are various measures of deprivation that use different census variables or give different weights to the same variables.<br> <br> In addition, the <a href="http://census.ukdataservice.ac.uk/get-data/related/deprivation.aspx" title="Deprivation data">Deprivation data</a> webpage at UK Data Service Census Support provides more information and links to related measures available elsewhere.<br> <br> These data are restricted to staff and students from UK further/higher education institutions. If your intended use of the data involves partnership with or funding from any non-academic organisations or individuals, or if you are uncertain about whether your use of the data is entirely academic, please <a href="http://ukdataservice.ac.uk/help/get-in-touch.aspx" title="Get in touch">Get in touch</a>.<br> <br>
