West Sussex county · 1 card
How deprived West Sussex is overall, with district-level and upper-tier comparisons where both apply.
West Sussex has an IMD 2025 score of 14.8 (higher means more deprived). West Sussex ranks 26th 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.
