Abstract

The English Indices of Deprivation are the official means for identifying the most deprived areas in England.The Indices are used widely by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and other government departments.Local policy makers and communities can also use this tool to ensure that their activities prioritise the areas with greatest need for services.The English Indices of Deprivation 2025 is the seventh release in the series of statistics produced to measure multiple forms of deprivation at the small spatial scale.Following formal user consultation, engagement with key user groups and data providers, and a significant programme of work by the research team, the Indices of Deprivation 2025 introduce a number of key enhancements to data and methodologies, whilst retaining the same overall conceptual model as the earlier Indices of Deprivation 2019Deprivation , 2015Deprivation , 2010Deprivation , 2007Deprivation , 2004Deprivation and 2000. .This report outlines the theory underpinning the model of multiple deprivation, the methods that were used, and describes the domains and indicators that make up the Indices of Deprivation 2025.A number of changes to the suite of indicators have been made, with the inclusion of 20 new indicators, significant enhancements to a further 14 indicators, and 21 indicators being updated without major enhancements.This report discusses all the component indicators and constituent methodologies in detail.In addition to the technical details presented in this report, the Statistical Release produced by MHCLG contains information on how to use and interpret the Indices.There is also an accompanying Research Report which provides analyses of the results, plus a further supplemental report on deprivation in rural areas.MHCLG has also produced short, accessible guidance and responses to frequently asked questions.All of these documents, and the datasets underpinning the Indices of Deprivation 2025, can be accessed at: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-indices-of-deprivation-2025Adults and children in Income Support benefit units Adults and children in income-based Jobseeker's Allowance benefit units Adults and children in income-based Employment and Support Allowance benefit units Adults and children in Pension Credit (Guarantee) benefit units Adults and children in Universal Credit benefit units 'out of work' conditionality categories: 'No work requirements ', 'Planning for Work ', 'Preparing for work ', 'Searching for work ' Adults and children in Universal Credit benefit units 'in work' conditionality categories: 'Working with requirements ' and 'Working no requirements ' with monthly equivalised income of less than 70% median equivalised monthly income after housing costs ** Adults and children in Housing Benefit claimant benefit units with monthly equivalised income of less than 70% median equivalised monthly income after housing costs ++ Adults and Children in Tax Credit claimant benefit units with monthly equivalised income of less than 70% median equivalised monthly income after housing costs ** Asylum seeker adults and children in dispersed accommodation receipt of support ** Claimants of Jobseeker's Allowance (both contribution-based and income-based) Claimants of Employment and Support Allowance (both contribution-based and income-based) Claimants of New Style Jobseeker's Allowance ++ Claimants of New Style Employment and Support Allowance ++ Claimants of Incapacity Benefit Claimants of Severe Disablement Allowance Claimants of Carer's Allowance Claimants of Income Support ++ Claimants of Universal Credit 'Searching for work ' conditionality group Claimants of Universal Credit 'No work requirements ' conditionality group Claimants of Universal Credit 'Planning for work ' conditionality group ++ Claimants of Universal Credit 'Preparing for work ' conditionality group ++ Key Stage 2 attainment: scaled scores Key Stage 4 attainment: average capped points score Entry to higher education Pupil absence ** Persistent pupil absence ++ Adult skills: The proportion of adults aged 25 to 66 with no or low qualifications, or, who cannot speak English or cannot speak English well Comparative Illness and Disability Ratio ** Years of Potential Life Lost Acute Morbidity Mental health composite indicator -Suicide Mental health composite indicator -Hospital admissions ** Mental health composite indicator -Prescribing data Indicator details Key Stage 2 attainment 4.5.2This indicator has been calculated as a scaled score for state school pupils taking Mathematics, English reading, and English grammar, punctuation and spelling in Key Stage 2 examinations.The numerator is the scaled scores in these examinations in 2018/19, 2021/22 and 2022/23 in an LSOA.The denominator is the total number of subjects (exams) taken by pupils for the same years as the numerator.
