Index of Multiple Deprivation for UK nations at various geographical levels. In England, deprivation data is for Lower Layer Super Output Areas, Middle Layer Super Output Areas, Wards, and Local Authorities based on data from https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-indices-of-deprivation-2019. In Wales, deprivation data is for Lower Layer Super Output Areas, Middle Layer Super Output Areas, Wards, and Local Authorities based on data from https://gov.wales/welsh-index-multiple-deprivation-full-index-update-ranks-2019. In Scotland, deprivation data is for Data Zones, Intermediate Zones, and Council Areas based on data from https://simd.scot. In Northern Ireland, deprivation data is for Super Output Areas and Local Government Districts based on data from https://www.nisra.gov.uk/statistics/deprivation/northern-ireland-multiple-deprivation-measure-2017-nimdm2017.
