The Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2010

Deprivation indicators – high ranking neighbourhoods in Hertsmere

The Indices of Multiple Deprivation are compiled by the Office for National Statistics. The indices for 2010 were published in March 2011.

Indices of Multiple Deprivation are designed to identify small area deprivation and so assist in the development of more targeted policies and more informed funding allocation. Indices of Multiple Deprivation are assessed and published every three years. The indices cover England only.

Deprivation is assessed by Super Output Areas, which are described in this report as Neighbourhoods. There is a total of 32,482 neighbourhoods in England. These neighbourhoods are ranked according to their level of deprivation. The lower the ranking, the higher the rate of deprivation in the neighbourhood: for example, a neighbourhood ranked as number 1 under a deprivation indicator would be the most deprived in England, while a neighbourhood ranked as number 32,482 would be the least deprived in England. Quartiles can be used to show to demonstrate the comparative level of deprivation in a neighbourhood:

Quartile 1, most deprived 25%: Ranking 1 – 8,120

Quartile 2:Ranking 8,121 – 16,241

Quartile 3:Ranking 16,242 – 24,362

Quartile 4: least deprived 25%:Ranking 24,363 – 32,482

There is a total of ten indicators of deprivation:

Overall deprivation
Income
Employment
Education and skills
Barriers to housing and services
Health and disability
Crime
Living environment
Income deprivation affecting children
Income deprivation affecting older people

The ranking of each neighbourhood for 2007 has been included to show whether deprivation has decreased or increased between 2007 and 2010, particularly in light of the economic recession. The roads within each neighbourhood are included under the neighbourhood profiles.
