 Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2019

The latest round of indices were released in September 2019. The indices measure levels of
deprivation across a number of domains at small area level – lower super output areas (LSOAs).

Overall, 88 per cent of neighbourhoods that are in the most deprived decile according to the Index of
Multiple Deprivation 2019 (IMD2019) were also the most deprived according to IMD2015. Many
London Boroughs have seen a reduction in the proportions of their neighbourhoods that are highly
deprived from the IMD2015.

Hillingdon is made up of 162 LSOAs across our 22 wards. The indices are made up of multiple domains,
ranked out of all LSOAs in England. The main domains we are usually interested in are the overall
indices, that affecting children and that affecting older people.

Each local authority will have an overall score and each LSOA will have a score; these scores are then
ranked as deciles, with a rank of 1 being the most deprived and 10 being the least deprived. Although
it is not possible to use the indices to measure changes in the absolute level of deprivation in places
over time, it is possible to explore changes in relative deprivation, or changes in the pattern of
deprivation, between iterations - as if comparing two snapshots in time.

The indices are based on the same methodology as the 2015 indices, providing a consistent suite of
outputs which are in line with previous iterations. Overall, 65% of neighbourhoods remained in the
same decile of deprivation between iterations. This indicates that, in relative terms at least, the most
deprived areas and least deprived areas have tended to remain the same between updates.

At the neighbourhood-level, the indices provide a place-based insight into deprivation. However, this
description does not apply to every person living in these areas. Many non-deprived people live in
deprived areas, and many deprived people live in non-deprived areas. It is important to note that the
indices are designed to identify and measure specific aspects of deprivation, rather than measures of
affluence.

Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI)

Of our 162 LSOAs, 96 (59%) have had no change in their rank since 2015, 17 (11%) are now ranked in

 Indices of Deprivation in London

Some areas have become less deprived between the IoD2015 and IoD2019. Local authority districts in
London have seen a relative decrease in their levels of deprivation between the IMD2015 and IMD2019. In
IMD2015, eight London Boroughs were ranked in the most deprived 30 per cent of local authorities when
looking at the proportion of their neighbourhoods which were the most deprived nationally - Tower
Hamlets, Haringey, Hackney, Islington, Westminster, Enfield, Kensington & Chelsea and Waltham Forest.

In IMD2019, only three London Boroughs are ranked in the most deprived three deciles (Hackney, Haringey,
Kensington & Chelsea). Tower Hamlets has become considerably less deprived on this measure, ranking
24 in IMD2015 and 175 in IMD2019 indicating that the neighbourhoods within the authority have become
less deprived relative to other neighbourhoods in England. In IMD2015, 274 LSOAs in London were in the
most deprived decile; for IMD2019 this has reduced to 107.
