The English Indices of Deprivation 2015
Briefing Note – November 2015
KEY MESSAGES:
North Somerset Council ranked as the 121st most deprived district out of 326 districts.
North Somerset was the district with the 3rd highest inequality, as measured by the range in national ranking between the most and least deprived LSOAs in the district.
North Somerset had 5 LSOAs within the most deprived 5% in England, all within South or Central wards of Weston-super-Mare.
There were 11 LSOAs within the least deprived 5% in England and these were spread across the district.
The more relatively deprived LSOAs in IMD 2010 had generally become more relatively deprived and these were located in Weston-super-Mare.
And note that:
Deprivation indices are relative to the rest of England, not absolute.
The indices are a measure of relative deprivation, not affluence.
The index of multiple deprivation is different from poverty, which is focussed on the availability of financial resources.
IMD 2015 used data from 2012/13.
The indicators used in IMD 2015 are very similar to those used in IMD 2010,
but there are some differences, making comparisons approximate.
BACKGROUND
The English Indices of Deprivation 2015, which include the Index of Multiple
Deprivation (IMD), were released at the end of September 2015 and updated the
previously published 2010 indices. The IMD 2015 provided a relative ranking of
areas across England according to their levels of deprivation, derived from a set of
37 indicators. These indicators were organised into seven domains of deprivation:
Income, Employment, Education, Health & Disability, Crime, Barriers to Housing and
Services and Living Environment. These were weighted and combined to create the
index of multiple deprivation. Appendix 1 provides details of the indicators, domain
weightings and any changes since IMD 2010. The data used by the Department for
Communities and Local Government (DCLG) for the IMD 2015 were mainly from
2012/13 and so are a historical view to an extent.
The IMD 2015 compared the 32,844 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) across
England, of which there were 135 in North Somerset. Each LSOA has a population
of approximately 1,500 and, in order to maintain this population size, the Office for
National Statistics (ONS) periodically changes the boundaries of LSOAs. The ONS
split 6 of North Somerset’s LSOAs into a total of 17 new LSOAs for the 2011
National Census. This means that some LSOAs cannot be compared between IMD
2010 and IMD 2015.

The relative position of a LSOA is indicated by its ranking nationally and a more
easily used indicator can be obtained by converting this rank into a percentile. The
most deprived LSOAs will have a percentile near 0% and the least deprived LSOAs
will have a percentile near 100%. The national quartile into which each LSOA in
North Somerset falls is shown on the map on the next page.
DEPRIVATION AT A DISTRICT LEVEL
The key measure selected by the DCLG to describe relative deprivation among local
authorities was the proportion of a local authority’s LSOAs that were in the most
deprived decile (bands of 10%) nationally. If deprivation was spread evenly, then
each local authority would have 10% of its LSOAs in the most deprived decile.
In IMD 2015 127 of the 326 districts (39%) did not have any LSOAs in the most
deprived decile nationally and, at the other extreme, there were five districts that had
between 40% and 50% of their LSOAs in this decile (Middlesbrough, Knowsley,
Kingston upon Hull, Liverpool and Manchester). North Somerset had 6.7% of its
LSOAs in the most deprived decile, making it the 121st most deprived district. On
this measure, Bristol was 55th most deprived, BANES was 192nd and South
Gloucestershire was 200th. The district level measures published by the DCLG tend
to show North Somerset’s ranking declining very slightly between IMD 2010 and IMD
2015.
In IMD 2010, North Somerset had 7.2% (9) of its LSOAs in the most deprived decile
and the apparent improvement to 6.7% in IMD 2015 was due to the splitting of other
LSOAs. The same 9 LSOAs remained in the most deprived national decile.
The 20 most deprived districts in England were largely the same as found in IMD
2010. However, the London Boroughs of Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham and
Haringey became relatively less deprived and no longer featured in this list.
When the seven domains of deprivation are considered individually at a district level,
North Somerset ranks out of 326 districts as follows for the proportion of LSOAs in
the most deprived 10% nationally:
Employment 88th most employment deprived district
Health 96th
Income 107th
Living Environment 170th
Education, Skills & Training 180th
Crime 181st
Barriers to Housing and Services 192nd
There are also two supplementary income related indices directed specifically at
children and older people respectively. North Somerset’s ranking of the proportion of
LSOAs in the most deprived 10% nationally on these was:
Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index 117th
Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index 120th

INEQUALITY
Inequality, as measured by the range in national ranking between the most and least
deprived LSOAs in a district, is likely to have increased in North Somerset. IMD
2015 shows North Somerset as having the 3rd largest range in England out of the
326 districts, up from 7th in IMD 2010, which used slightly different methodology.
The table below shows the 10 districts with the highest inequality.
The table below shows the rankings on this inequality measure of our neighbouring
unitary councils.
MOST DEPRIVED AREAS WITHIN NORTH SOMERSET
In North Somerset there were 5 LSOAs within the most deprived 5% of LSOAs
nationally in IMD 2015, one fewer than in IMD 2010 (slightly different methodology).
All were within the South and Central wards of Weston-super-Mare and two of these
on the Bournville Estate were within the most deprived 1% nationally. One LSOA
(Alfred Street, Weston-super-Mare Central) was in the bottom decile for 6 out of the
7 domains of deprivation.
The LSOA that was no longer in the most deprived 5% was Ellenborough Park,
Weston-super-Mare Central, which had a percentage ranking of 7% in IMD 2015.

What does this mean in terms of numbers of people?
The Income Deprivation and Employment Deprivation domains are rates of the
population experiencing this type of deprivation. The indicators in these domains are
constructed as non-overlapping counts and are simply summed together to identify
the total numbers of people experiencing the type of deprivation. There have been
some changes to the indicators behind these domains between IMD 2010 and IMD
2015, but the DCLG attempted to keep them as comparable as possible over time
[see Appendix 1]. New initiatives, such as Work Capability Assessments, will have
affected indicator values.
The next table shows that the numbers of income deprived people included in the
IMD have increased in two of the most deprived LSOAs since IMD 2010, but have
remained static or have decreased slightly in the other three LSOAs. The numbers
of employment deprived individuals in the IMD have increased in all five of the
LSOAs.
NORTH SOMERSET COUNCIL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SERVICE
Page 13
More up-to-date data shows that the number of claimants of Job Seekers Allowance
or Universal Credit in these 5 LSOAs decreased by 49% between January 2013 and
January 2015 and the most recent data1 (October 2015) shows a further decrease.
The same pattern occurred in North Somerset and England, which saw decreases of
58% and 47% respectively between January 2013 and January 2015.
The indicator values available within the other domains are not simple counts of
individuals, but it is nevertheless possible to make comparisons between IMD 2015
and IMD 2010 for some of their constituent indicators. The proportion of young
people staying on in post-16 education increased in the four most deprived LSOAs,
only decreasing in W-s-M South Windwhistle, whereas the proportion of young
people entering higher education decreased in all 5 of the most deprived LSOAs.
There was a mixed picture among the values of the two indicators unaffected by
benefits/allowances in the health domain (‘years of potential life lost’ and ‘acute
morbidity’). The values of both indicators deteriorated for W-s-M Central Grand Pier
and W-s-M South Windwhistle between IMD 2010 and IMD 2015, whereas the other
3 LSOAs improved on one indicator and deteriorated on the other.
Percentiles by Domain for the most deprived LSOAs and changes in ranking
based on IMD 2010 and IMD 2015 definitions
The IMD 2015 relative ranking percentiles in each domain for the most deprived
LSOAs are shown in the table below, along with colour coding to show whether
these rankings have improved or declined. The crime domain shows apparent
improvements in ranking since IMD 2010, but the comparisons suggest the four main
domains of income, employment, education and health have declined in their relative
positions in most cases.

DEPRIVATION LEVEL OF AREAS IN WHICH CHILDREN AND OLDER PEOPLE
LIVE
Overall, 26% of the North Somerset population lived in one of the most deprived half
of LSOAs nationally and 74% lived in one of the least deprived half of LSOAs, at the
time for which the data was current (2012). A very slightly smaller proportion (25%)
of both children (aged 0-15) and older people (aged 60 and over) lived in the most
deprived half of LSOAs.
The LSOAs in the most deprived decile contained 7% of the total North Somerset
population. This included 7% of all children (2,416) and 6% of all older people
(3,269). The numbers and percentages of children, older people and the total
population in each deprivation decile are shown in Appendix 4.
CHANGES IN RANKING OF LSOAS BETWEEN IMD 2010 AND IMD 2015
Comparing IMD 2015 against IMD 2010 for the 118 LSOAs with boundaries that did
not change suggests that 46% (54) improved their relative positions nationally and
54% (64) declined in their relative positions. For the new LSOAs created by splitting
previous LSOAs, 8 improved their relative positions compared to the position of the
parent LSOA and 9 declined. However, comparisons should be treated with caution
due to changes in methodology.
In general, the more deprived LSOAs in IMD 2010 declined in their relative positions
and the least deprived improved to a small extent in their positions. This pattern was
also observed previously when IMD 2010 was compared to the 2007 version.
The charts on the next page show the IMD 2010 percentile for a LSOA on the
horizontal axis and its IMD 2015 percentile on the vertical axis. If the national
percentile ranking for a LSOA was the same in IMD 2015 as it had been in IMD 2010
then the marker for that LSOA would sit on the line. If the ranking in IMD 2015 was
higher (better) than in IMD 2010 then the marker would sit above the line and
conversely, if the ranking in IMD 2015 was lower, then the marker would sit below
the line.
The charts suggest that a small majority of Weston-super-Mare and Nailsea &
Backwell LSOAs have declined in their rankings, although Nailsea & Backwell
remains with overall low relative deprivation. Clevedon contains approximately equal
numbers of LSOAs that have improved in their rankings and that have declined in
their rankings and the same is true for Portishead and Rural/Other areas.
The subsequent bar chart highlights those LSOAs that appear to have changed their
ranking by over 8 percentage points between IMD 2010 and IMD 2015. Nine LSOAs
declined and five LSOAs improved by this amount. On looking at changes in each of
the domains of deprivation for the LSOAs that apparently declined 8 or more
percentiles, a common feature is a relative decline in the health domain. Within this
domain the indicator ‘Years of potential life lost’ has worsened for most of these nine
LSOAs and contributed to the relative decline.

The longer-term changes can be seen in the chart below, which shows the
percentages of North Somerset LSOAs contained within each of the national
quartiles over the last 15 years. Both of the quartiles with higher deprivation have
grown, from a combined total of 15% in IMD 2000 to 26% in IMD 2015. Although
increasing, this remains better than the national average which is fixed at 50%.
The changes to LSOA boundaries between IMD 2010 and IMD 2015 have kept the
increases in the percentages of LSOAs in the most deprived two quartiles to 1%
each. This is because the LSOAs that had experienced significant population growth
and consequently were split were predominantly in areas of low deprivation. For
example, the number of LSOAs in the most deprived quartile increased from 15 to 18
between IMD 2010 and IMD 2015 and none of these LSOAs had been affected by
splitting. The total of 18 would have represented 14.5% of North Somerset’s 124
LSOAs in IMD 2010, but actually represented 13.3% of the 135 LSOAs in IMD 2015.

The change in percentage rank for individual LSOAs between IMD 2007 and IMD
2010 and between IMD 2010 and IMD 2015 is shown in Appendix 3.
ISSUE WITH COMPARING BETWEEN IMD 2010 AND IMD 2015 FOR NORTH
SOMERSET IN PARTICULAR
The real change on the ground between the period IMD 2010 relates to and the
period IMD 2015 relates to is likely to have been less than the previous section
suggested, because IMD 2010 is likely to have underestimated deprivation within
North Somerset. The ONS produces mid-year population estimates using
methodology based on the last national census and combines this with data
available on births, deaths, migration etc. The 2010 mid-year population estimate for
North Somerset turned out to be almost 5% higher than the subsequent 2011
national census total, suggesting the ONS population estimation methodology had
not worked particularly well for North Somerset.
A number of the indicators within IMD are based on the number of individuals known
to be in a deprivation group in an area, divided by the total number of individuals in
that area, to give a percentage. If the total number of individuals in the area is an
over-estimate, then the percentage will be an under-estimate. This will result in a
less-deprived ranking on IMD.
For example, in IMD 2010 the LSOA ‘W-s-M Central - Alfred Street’ contained 570
income-deprived individuals, out of an estimated 1,768 living in the area (32%).
However, the 2011 national census, which is considered a more reliable source for
population figures, showed there were 13% fewer people living in that area,
suggesting the percentage of these who were income-deprived might have been
nearer 37%.

APPENDIX 1
Domains and Indicators used in the Indices of Deprivation 2015
The Indices of Deprivation 2015 were derived from 37 indicators at LSOA level,
which were allocated between seven domains of deprivation. The relative measure
of deprivation for an LSOA was calculated by combining the transformed ranks for
the seven domains according to the weightings shown in the chart below.
The criteria for inclusion of an indicator were that it should be ‘domain specific’,
appropriate for the purpose of measuring major features of that deprivation, up-to-
date, capable of being updated on a regular basis, statistically robust and available
for the whole of England at a small area level in a consistent form.
The indicators within each domain and the changes since IMD 2010 were as follows:
Income Deprivation
The definition of low income used included both those people who were out-of-work
and those who were in work, but who had low earnings and who satisfied the
respective means tests.
NORTH SOMERSET COUNCIL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SERVICE
Page 21
1. Adults and children in Income Support families
2. Adults and children in income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance families
3. Adults and children in income-based Employment and Support Allowance
families
4. Adults and children in Pension Credit (Guarantee) families
5. Adults and children in Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit families not
already counted, that is those who are not in receipt of Income Support,
income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, income-based Employment and
Support Allowance or Pension Credit (Guarantee) and whose equivalent
income (excluding housing benefit) is below 60 per cent of the median before
housing costs
6. Asylum seekers in England in receipt of subsistence support, accommodation
support, or both.
Changes since IMD 2010 were that indicator 5 was expanded beyond just families
receiving Child Tax Credit to include Working Tax Credit and that changes in income
support rules affecting indicator 1 required the inclusion of new indicator 3.
Employment Deprivation
The Employment Deprivation Domain measures the proportion of the working age
population in an area involuntarily excluded from the labour market. This includes
people who would like to work but are unable to do so due to unemployment,
sickness or disability, or caring responsibilities.
7. Claimants of Jobseeker’s Allowance (both contribution-based and income-
based), women aged 18 to 59 and men aged 18 to 64
8. Claimants of Employment and Support Allowance, women aged 18 to 59 and
men aged 18 to 64
9. Claimants of Incapacity Benefit, women aged 18 to 59 and men aged 18 to 64
10. Claimants of Severe Disablement Allowance, women aged 18 to 59 and men
aged 18 to 64
11. Claimants of Carer’s Allowance, women aged 18 to 59 and men aged 18 to
64.
Indicator 11 was a new addition since IMD 2010. The three New Deal indicators
included in the IMD 2010 have been removed, because New Deal and Flexible New
Deal have been replaced by the Work Programme and the recipients should already
appear in indicator 7. Changes to rules around income support and jobseeker’s
allowance will also have affected the income and employment domains.
Education, Skills and Training Deprivation
The indicators fall into two sub-domains: one relating to children and young people
and one relating to adults’ skills.
Children and Young People sub-domain:
12. Key Stage 2 attainment: The average points score of pupils taking reading,
writing and mathematics Key Stage 2 exams
NORTH SOMERSET COUNCIL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SERVICE
Page 22
13. Key Stage 4 attainment: The average capped points score of pupils taking
Key Stage 4
14. Secondary school absence: The proportion of authorised and unauthorised
absences from secondary school
15. Staying on in education post 16: The proportion of young people not staying
on in school or non-advanced education above age 16
16. Entry to higher education: A measure of young people aged under 21 not
entering higher education.
Adults’ Skills sub-domain:
17. Adults’ skills: The proportion of working age adults with no or low
qualifications, women aged 25 to 59 and men aged 25 to 64
18. English language proficiency: The proportion of working age adults who
cannot speak English or cannot speak English well, women aged 25 to 59 and
men aged 25 to 64.
Indicator 18 has been included for the first time in IMD 2015 and uses Census 2011
data. The age range included in indicator 17 has been raised from 54. The Key
Stage 3 attainment indicator included in IMD 2010 has been removed, because this
is now teacher assessed. The number of years of data used to calculate the
averages used in the Children and Young People sub-domain indicators has been
increased.
Health Deprivation and Disability
This measures the risk of premature death and the impairment of quality of life
through poor physical or mental health. It does not measure aspects of behaviour or
environment that may be predictive of future health deprivation.
19. Years of potential life lost: An age and sex standardised measure of
premature death
20. Comparative illness and disability ratio: An age and sex standardised
morbidity/disability ratio
21. Acute morbidity: An age and sex standardised rate of emergency admission
to hospital
22. Mood and anxiety disorders: A composite based on the rate of adults suffering
from mood and anxiety disorders, hospital episodes data, suicide mortality
data and health benefits data.
Data on claimants of Employment Support Allowance (which replaced Incapacity
Benefit and Income Support paid because of an illness or disability for new claimants
from 2008) has been incorporated into the comparative illness and disability ratio
indicator and the health benefits component of the mood and anxiety disorders
indicator. Work Capability Assessments for Employment Support Allowance were
introduced in 2008, reducing the number of people eligible for incapacity benefits.

Crime
This measures the risk of personal and material victimisation at local level.
23. Violence – number of reported violent crimes (18 reported crime types) per
1000 at risk population
24. Burglary – number of reported burglaries (4 reported crime types) per 1000 at
risk population
25. Theft – number of reported thefts (5 reported crime types) per 1000 at risk
population
26. Criminal damage – number of reported crimes (8 reported crime types) per
1000 at risk population
Due to Home Office changes to the counting rules for crimes, the offence categories
used for each indicator were amended to obtain the best comparability with IMD
2010.
Barriers to Housing and Services
The indicators used fall into two sub-domains: ‘geographical barriers’, which relate to
the physical proximity of local services and ‘wider barriers’ which includes issues
relating to access to housing such as affordability and homelessness.
Geographical Barriers sub-domain:
27. Road distance to a post office
28. Road distance to a primary school
29. Road distance to a general store or supermarket
30. Road distance to a GP surgery.
Wider Barriers sub-domain:
31. Household overcrowding: The proportion of all households in a Lower-layer
Super Output Area which are judged to have insufficient space to meet the
household’s needs
32. Homelessness: Local authority district level rate of acceptances for housing
assistance under the homelessness provisions of the 1996 Housing Act,
assigned to the constituent Lower-layer Super Output Areas
33. Housing affordability: Difficulty of access to owner-occupation or the private
rental market, expressed as the inability to afford to enter owner occupation or
the private rental market.
Indicator 33 was revised to include the inability to afford to enter the private rental
market, in addition to the owner-occupier sector and gives equal weight to each.
This indicator was also able to be produced at LSOA level for IMD 2015, rather than
just at local authority level which was used in IMD 2010. ‘Housing Market Areas’,
which reflect commuting and migration patterns, were used rather than local
authorities and other changes to improve the reliability of the indicator were also
incorporated.
Indicator 32 was made more robust by using homelessness data for three years
rather than the one year that was used in IMD 2010.

Living Environment Deprivation
The indicators used fall into two sub-domains. The ‘indoors’ living environment
measures the quality of housing, while the ‘outdoors’ living environment contains
measures of air quality and road traffic accidents.
Indoors sub-domain:
34. Houses without central heating: The proportion of houses that do not have
central heating
35. Housing in poor condition: The proportion of social and private homes that fail
to meet the Decent Homes standard.
Outdoors sub-domain:
36. Air quality: A measure of air quality based on emissions rates for four
pollutants
37. Road traffic accidents involving injury to pedestrians and cyclists: A measure
of road traffic accidents involving injury to pedestrians and cyclists among the
resident and workplace population.
Changes since IMD 2010 were that the method of calculating indicator 35 was
changed to improve accuracy and one of its data source was amended. One of the
targets within indicator 36 was also made more stringent.
