Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2015 for Birmingham

The ‘IMD 2015’ worksheets in this file contains the ranks and deciles for the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015 (IMD 2015) at Lower-layer Super Output Area (LSOA) level, with one tab for all English IMD LSOAs and one tab for Birmingham LSOAs.

The LSOA with a rank of 1 is the most deprived and the LSOA with a rank of 32,844 is the least deprived.
The deciles are calculated by ranking the 32,844 LSOAs in England from most deprived to least deprived and dividing them into 10 equal groups. LSOAs in decile 1 fall within the most deprived 10% of LSOAs nationally and LSOAs in decile 10 fall within the least deprived 10% of LSOAs nationally.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is an overall relative measure of deprivation constructed by combining seven domains of deprivation.

The Indices of Deprivation 2015 provide a set of relative measures of deprivation for small areas (Lower-layer Super Output Areas) across England, based on seven domains of deprivation. The domains were combined using the following weights to produce the overall Index of Multiple Deprivation: Income Deprivation, Employment Deprivation,
Education, Skills and Training Deprivation, Health Deprivation and Disability, Crime, Barriers to Housing and Services 
Living Environment Deprivation.

In addition to the Index of Multiple Deprivation and the seven domain indices, there are two supplementary indices: the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index.
