Statement

The construction of the Indices of Deprivation 2019, including the Index of Multiple

Deprivation, broadly consists of the seven following stages. These

stages fulfil the purposes of defining the Indices, data inputs and data processing

procedures, and producing the Index of Multiple Deprivation and summary measures.

1. Dimensions (referred to as domains) of deprivation are identified.

2. Indicators are chosen to provide the best possible measure of each domain of

deprivation.

3. ‘Shrinkage estimation’ is used to improve reliability of the small area data.

4. Indicators are combined to form the domains, generating separate domain scores.

These can be regarded as indices in their own right – the domain indices.

5. Domain scores are ranked, and the domain ranks are transformed to a specified

exponential distribution.

6. The exponentially transformed domain scores are combined using appropriate domain

weights to form an overall Index of Multiple Deprivation at small area level. This

stage completes the construction of the Indices of Deprivation 2019 at Lower-layer

Super Output Area level.

7. The overall Index of Multiple Deprivation, the domains and the supplementary indices

are summarised for higher level geographical areas such as Local Authority Districts.
