East Sussex county · 1 card
How deprived East Sussex is overall, with district-level and upper-tier comparisons where both apply.
East Sussex has an IMD 2025 score of 21.2 (higher means more deprived). East Sussex ranks 70th least deprived of 153. A single district-level rank does not apply to the whole county because it contains several districts. The Index of Multiple Deprivation blends income, employment, education, health, crime, housing and the living environment into one score. It is a composite index, not a rate, and it averages across the whole area — individual neighbourhoods can differ widely.
