Caveats

  • A composite score, not a rate — it has no confidence interval and no single-year trend.
  • Averages across each local authority hide wide differences between its neighbourhoods.
  • The prominent rank is the official MHCLG rank of average score among 296 district-level authorities where the area's boundary appears in that table. The separate 153-place comparison uses upper-tier authorities.
  • County councils contain several district-level authorities, so no single 296-place district rank applies to a whole county; those cards use the upper-tier comparison only.
  • Ranks 1–70 are worded most deprived; ranks 71–153 are reversed and worded least deprived. This is a display convention, not an official deprivation category.
  • Higher score means more deprived. Stated factually, not as judgement.
