Index of Multiple Deprivation
Derbyshire
Introduction
The English Indices of Deprivation (IoD) are the government’s official set of measures that are released to assess different aspects of deprivation across England at a small area level. They include indicators that focus on specific areas of disadvantage, such as income deprivation affecting children and older people, and measures of access to essential services. This release of measures (Indices of Deprivation 2025 – IoD25) updates the 2019 version (IoD19)1.
The IoD25 uses 55 indicators, an increase from 39 in the IoD19. This includes 20 new indicators, 14 indicators that have been significantly modified and 21 that have been updated to more recent timepoints. Therefore, interpreting deprivation over time using IoD25 should be done with caution and should consider the changes in methodology from previous versions2.
The most widely used measure within IoD is the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). IMD provides an overall picture of relative deprivation. Deprivation describes a lack of access to the resources, opportunities, and living conditions needed for a good quality of life, including income, employment, education, housing, health services, and a safe environment. IMD captures this by combining seven weighted domains (weighted as shown below)3:
Why is it important to Population Health?
The domains within the IoD25 reflect wider determinants of health, which can be understood using the Dahlgren and Whitehead model. The model highlights that deprivation is not just about income but about the relationship between factors that shape health and wellbeing4.
The IoD25 measures deprivation in small areas across England called LSOAs (Lower-layer Super Output Areas). These are standard statistical areas designed to have similar population sizes. In IoD25, LSOAs are referred to as ‘small areas’ or ‘neighbourhoods’.
Within Derbyshire, there are 499 LSOAs. There is no fixed point where an area is classed as ‘deprived’. The measures within IoD25 show relative deprivation for small areas using multiple indicators. An area may rank as highly deprived, but not all residents experience deprivation and deprivation can occur in less deprived areas.
IoD25 provides ranks, which can be grouped into equal sized categories (either ten ‘deciles’ or five ‘quintiles’). The first decile is the most deprived 10%, and the tenth decile is the least deprived 10%. The first quintile is the most deprived 20% and the fifth quintile is the least deprived 20%5. Percentages are often used to described how deprived a neighbourhood is.
There are two supplementary indices that are subsets of the Income Deprivation domain. The Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) measures income deprivation specifically among children (aged 0-15 years old) in small areas in England and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI) measures income deprivation relating specifically to older people (aged 60 years and over) in small areas in England.
The Derbyshire Population Health Approach
The Derbyshire Population Health Approach focuses on prevention, population health, evidence-informed practices, causes, and collaboration. It emphasises proactive measures to prevent health issues, tailors interventions to specific populations, incorporates evidence-informed practices, addresses underlying causes, and promotes collaboration for effective action.
When considering the topic of indices of deprivation within The Derbyshire Population Health Approach:
• Prevention
While IoD25 is a powerful tool, it is one part of a broader picture and should be used alongside local intelligence and qualitative insights to inform action.
The Core20PLUS5 aims to support the reduction of healthcare inequalities and provides a clear framework for action by identifying where efforts should be focused6:
Core20: The most deprived 20% of the population nationally, where health outcomes are consistently poorest.
Understanding local deprivation patterns enables Derbyshire to align interventions with these priorities, ensuring resources are directed where they will have the greatest impact. Derbyshire is not among the most deprived local authorities overall, but it contains LSOAs in the most deprived quintile7:
When using IoD25 to contribute to evidence relating to public health interventions, the population the intervention is targeting should be considered. IoD25 includes supplementary indices such as the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI) to allow deprivation to be assessed for specific populations. There is a standalone report released to investigate deprivation in rural areas across England (English indices of deprivation 2025: rural report)8. This is important to note as Derbyshire contains both urban and rural areas.
• Evidence
At a local level, the indices are frequently used to support strategy development, guide targeted interventions and strengthen funding bids. IoD25 is also valuable to the voluntary and community sector to help identify areas where their services can have the greatest impact. The indices are designed to offer a consistent, reliable and detailed measure of relative deprivation at a small area level across England.
• Causes
Deprivation refers to a broad lack of resources and is not just limited to finances and income. It is important to note that IoD25 combines seven domains of deprivation, reflecting unmet needs. When designing public health interventions, all domains within IoD25 should be considered due to the complex and interconnected nature of deprivation.
• Collaboration
It is important to work collaboratively and to use standardised measures of deprivation such as IoD25 to identify populations that are most affected by deprivation. Gaining public involvement to understand needs and how deprivation affects health outcomes can help reduce deprivation and health inequalities caused by deprivation. Collaboration is vital between stakeholders, partners, communities, the public, private and voluntary sectors to understand and reduce deprivation across Derbyshire.
