To provide a summary of the Indices of Deprivation, 2015, issued by the Department for Communities and Local Government on 30/09/15.2. Backgro
2、und2.1. The 2015 Indices of Deprivation (ID 2015) provide a set of relative measures of deprivation for small areas (Lower-layer Super Output Areas) across England, of which there are 32,844. Each area is ranked for each of the deprivation indices, whereby 1 indicates the most deprived area in Engla
3、nd and a ranking of 32,844 indicates the least deprived.2.2. LSOAs are a standard way of dividing up the country and are designed to be of a similar population size, with an average of 1,500 residents in each. There are approximately 9 LSOAs in each of Greenwichs wards.2.3. ID 2015 consist of an ove

Th

The seven domain indices and supplementary indices have been mapped at lower super output level to show the main areas of deprivation in the borou
7、gh. It is common to describe how relatively deprived a small area is by saying whether it falls among the most deprived 10 per cent, 20 per cent or 30 per cent of small areas in England a methodology adopted for this briefing.2.6. The 2015 Indices represent the 5th round of deprivation indices that
8、have been produced, with previous releases in 2000, 2004, 2007, and 2010. Whilst the Indices are not designed to provide backward comparability, the broadly consistent methodology between versions means that rankings between years can be compared. A comparison to the 2010 ID is provided at borough l
9、evel comparing the relative change in ranking to the rest of England and London. 2.7. It is important to note that the 2015 Indices of Deprivation reflect the position in 2013 as most of the data relates to the tax year 2012/13.3. Greenwich Summary3.1. Table 1 shows the six summary measures produced
10、 to report IMD. Greenwich has seen an improvement in ranking in five of the six measures, relative to the rest of the country.3.2. Greenwichs ranking on the employment scale is unchanged (51st), despite an increased number of residents now considered to be employment deprived. The 2015 IMD reports t
11、hat 21,060 people are employment deprived, a 24% increase from the 2010 IMD. The represents a faster growth rate than the population as a whole, which grew by 10% over the same period (when comparing ONS 2013 MYE to 2008 MYE), which is perhaps due to the economic challenges that have affected the co
12、untry since 2008.3.3. Based on the most commonly used indicator of deprivation (rank of average scores), Greenwich is now the 78th most deprived Local Authority in England (of 326 LAs), a considerable improvement since 2010 when Greenwich was ranked 28th most deprived.3.4. Table 2 compares the IMD 2
13、015 deprivation rankings of all London boroughs to the IMD 2010 rankings. In London Greenwich is now the 14th most deprived borough, 6 places higher than in 2010. Greenwich has seen the greatest improvement in its relative rankings of all the London Boroughs (Tables 2).3.5. In terms of the extent to
14、 which the population is affected by deprivation, 23 per cent of the Greenwich population are estimated to live in the most deprived LSOAs in England, an improvement since 2010 when 44 per cent of the boroughs population were reported to live in the most deprived areas. 3.6. Map 3 shows the LSOAs in

Three of the boroughs LSOAs are within the top 10% most deprived on the national scale, these are located in Abbey Wo
