The English Indices of Deprivation 2019 (ID 2019) were published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) on 26 September 2019. They represent the fifth release in a series of statistics produced to measure various forms of relative deprivation at a local level, providing an update to the Indices of Deprivation 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2015.
As with the previous Indices, ID 2019 are measured at the geographical level of Lower Super Output Area (LSOA), each of which contained a population of about 1,500 residents at the time of the 2011 Census. When ID 2019 were published, there were 32,844 LSOAs throughout England, of which 109 are within Basingstoke and Deane.
For each LSOA, there is an overall Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD 2019) and seven domain indices (from which the IMD is constructed), covering:
- income
- employment
- health deprivation and disability
- education, skills and training
- barriers to housing and services
- crime
- the living environment
- as well as two supplementary indices, covering income deprivation affecting children and older people respectively
In addition to the LSOA level analysis, five summary measures are provided at local authority level, each focusing on a different aspect of multiple deprivation. For four of the five measures, Basingstoke and Deane remains within the least deprived 30% of local authorities. The borough is ranked among the least deprived nationally under the final measure, as no LSOAs are within the 10% most deprived nationally under the overall IMD.
The Indices have been mapped against the borough's wards as they have existed since May 2021. A spreadsheet showing the levels of deprivation in each LSOA within Basingstoke and Deane relative to the results throughout England is available below. It must be stressed that whilst referred to as the Indices of Deprivation 2019, most of the data relates to 2015/16, just as ID 2015 used data mainly from 2012/13.
