3. The indices of deprivation 2015 is the official measure of relative deprivation for small areas in England. The indices of deprivation rank each lower super output area (LSOA) in England in order of deprivation. These are then grouped into ten groups known as deciles. LSOAs in decile 1 are the 10% most deprived LSOAs in the country. LSOAs in decile 10 are the 10% least deprived in the country. The deprivation is measured using a number of domains, some domains are rated more highly than others so make up a higher share of the score. The measure that combines all the indices of deprivation domains is the most commonly used measure of deprivation and is known as the index of multiple deprivation (IMD). Introduction

4. The deprivation is measured using a number of domains, some domains are rated more highly than others so make up more of the score. The domains that make up the index Employment deprivation Income deprivation Living environment Barriers to housing and services Crime Health deprivation and disability Education, skills and training deprivation 22.5% 13.5% 9.3% Measures the proportion of the population experiencing deprivation relating to low income. This includes both people that are out of work and those that are in work, but have low earnings Measures the lack of attainment and skills in the local population. The indicator has two sub-domains: children and young people adult skills Measures the risk of premature death and the impairment of quality of life through poor physical or mental health Measures the risk of personal and material victimisation at local level Measures the physical and financial accessibility of housing and local services. The indicator has two sub- domains: geographical barriers wider barriers. Measures the quality of the local environment. The indicator has two sub-domains: indoor living environment - the quality of housing outdoor living environment measures of air quality and road traffic accidents Measures the proportion of the working age population 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

38. Technical notes Brent’s national rank Deprivation is measured at LSOA level. The LSOAs are then ranked nationally. Each local authority has its average rank calculated from the ranked LSOAs. These are then ranked. Brent’s national rank is the rank of average ranks. Indicator weight Instead of combining everything equally, some indicators are given a greater emphasis so make up more of the domain. E.g. if there were four indicators, and they were distributed evenly, each indicator would make up 0.25 of the domain. Lower super output areas In 2010 Brent had 174 LSOAs. In 2011 there were a number of changes and Brent now has 173 LSOAs. Numerator This is usually the total number of people in the category being measured. This number is then divided by the denominator to provide a rate, often expressed as a percentage. Denominator This is the total number of people in the population. The population can change, for example, the total working age population is all women aged between 18 and 59 + all men aged between 18 and 64. This number is then used with the numerator to calculate a rate, often expressed as a percentage.
