Box 5.1: Indices of Deprivation

A universal challenge for policy makers is where economic resources and the interventions they enable might be best targeted, either for the greatest positive effect or to benefit those most in need. Such evaluations are complex and can have a range of influences. However, within the UK, a useful tool that has seen a variety of applications related to the spatial targeting of policy includes the indices of deprivation.

For each of the countries making up the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland), separate deprivation indices have been created for small-area zonal geography. The latest English indices of deprivation were released in 2015 and are the fifth iteration of this measure, adopting a broadly similar method to previous indicators. These indices are generated at the lower super output area (LSOA) scale (32,844 zones in England, with an average of 1,500 residents) and are composed of inputs that include the following domains:

Employment

Education, skills, and training

Health and disability

Crime

Barriers to housing and services

Living environment.
