Economic Deprivation Index

The Economic Deprivation Index (EDI) is a measure of deprivation which is produced at Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) level and is made up of two domains: Income and Employment. The EDI was produced in order to combat difficulties in comparing the Indices of Deprivation 2004 and 2007 as different methodologies were used. The EDI has been constructed in a consistent manner over time and can be used to track the progress of deprived neighbourhoods. This theme presents the score values for the EDI from 1999 to 2005. This data originates from Communities and Local Government, Economic Deprivation Index, 2008.
