Indices of Deprivation 2010 Health and disability domain, Local Authority District Rank of Average Rank

This dataset contains a summary measure of the Indices of Deprivation 2010 Health and disability 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).

本数据集包含2010年剥夺指数健康与残疾领域的综合指标，该指标按地方行政区域级别进行衡量。该指标将326个地方行政区域根据其内所有地方统计区域（LSOA）按人口加权平均排名进行排序。排名1代表最严重的剥夺情况。

英格兰剥夺指数提供了对英格兰小区域层面剥夺程度的相对衡量。区域按照剥夺程度的七个不同维度和一个综合多维度剥夺度量从最不剥夺到最剥夺进行排序。2010年指数的大部分数据均基于2008年的数据。

该指数旨在针对小区域，但一种总结地方行政区域层面相对剥夺程度的方法是计算区域内LSOA的平均排名。

对于综合剥夺指数（IMD）以及每个领域，综合指标是通过计算每个地方行政区域内所有LSOA的排名平均值得出的。在计算过程中，LSOA的排名是以人口加权的形式进行的，以考虑LSOA规模可能存在差异的事实。（为了简化领域的总结，所有领域的总人口规模保持一致。）最后，地方行政区域根据LSOA的平均排名进行排序，从1到326，其中1代表最剥夺。
