IMD 2004

• The IMD 2004 is a Super Output Area (SOA) level
  measure of multiple deprivation
• Wow! Sounds impressive, BUT what does that
  actually mean?

4

• Multiple Deprivation
• Distinct dimensions of deprivation and
  disadvantage which can be idenitified and
  measured separately (Domains)
• People may be counted in one or more Domains
  depending on the number of types of deprivation
  they experience

5

• IMD 2004 consists of seven distinct domains (and
  a number of sub-domains)
• Each domain is built from a number of unpublished
  indicators (e.g. adults and children in Income
  Support households)

6

• The seven domains are
• Income Deprivation (with sub-domains income
  deprivation affecting children and older persons)
  
• Employment Deprivation
• Health Deprivation Disability
• Education, Skills Training Deprivation
• Barriers to Housing Services
• Crime Disorder
• Living Environment

7
Super Output Areas

• Super Output Areas (SOAs) are replacing electoral
  wards as the primary means of dissemination of
  small area Government (and other) statistics.
• Built from postcode based Census Output Areas
• Three types of SOA lower, middle and upper layer

8

• IMD 2004 is at the lower layer smaller than an
  electoral ward c.1000-2000 people.
• There are 32,482 SOAs (lower layer) in England
  333 in Warwickshire (cp. 105 wards)

e.g. Overslade ward 1 ward 5 SOAs
10

• Due to different domains, indicators and the new
  SOA geography forget any comparison with IMD 2000
• A full report on IMD 2004 for Warwickshire is
  available atwww.warwickshire.gov.uk/deprivation

• National comparisons are clearly useful but
  additional analysis in a local context is also
  possible (e.g. Rugby rankings 1 58)
• and by individual domains (types of deprivation)

Health Deprivation Disability Rugby
ContextIdentifies areas with relatively high
rates of people who die prematurely or whose
quality of life is impaired by poor health or who
are disabled, across the whole population.
21

• Similar patterns emerge when looking at the
  different domains
• SOAs enable local level focus, but district
  level data is also of use, to gain a high level
  overview.
• Quality of Life provides us with district level
  data

22
Quality of Life 2004

• QoL is comprised from a number of Economic,
  Social and Environmental and Natural Resource
  indicators.
• Rugby borough is most closest aligned to the
  Warwickshire average on a number of indicators.
• Progress in Education Health over the last 12
  months
• Many other indicators remain unchanged.
