Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure 2005

The 2005 Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure (NIMDM 2005) contains seven domains of deprivation: • Income Deprivation • Employment Deprivation • Health Deprivation and Disability • Education, Skills and Training Deprivation • Proximity to Services Deprivation • Living Environment Deprivation • Crime and Disorder Indicators. Each domain contains a number of indicators, totalling 43 overall. Where possible, the indicators relate to 2003. The criteria for inclusion of these indicators were that they should be: • ‘domain specific’ and appropriate for the purpose (as direct as possible measures of that form of deprivation); • measuring major features of that deprivation (not conditions just experienced by a very small number of people or areas); • up-to-date; • capable of being updated on a regular basis; • statistically robust; and • available for the whole of Northern Ireland at a small area level in a consistent form. Results are provided for these domains and the overall multiple deprivation measure in the form of ranks. Areas are ordered from most deprived (rank 1) to least deprived.
