The English Indices of Deprivation 2025 Technical Report

The English Indices of Deprivation 2025 is the seventh release in the series of statistics produced to measure multiple forms of deprivation at the small spatial scale. Following formal user consultation, engagement with key user groups and data providers, and a significant programme of work by the research team, the Indices of Deprivation 2025
introduce a number of key enhancements to data and methodologies, whilst retaining the same overall conceptual model as the earlier Indices of Deprivation 2019, 2015, 2010,2007, 2004 and 2000.
This report outlines the theory underpinning the model of multiple deprivation, the methods that were used, and describes the domains and indicators that make up the Indices of Deprivation 2025. A number of changes to the suite of indicators have been made, with the inclusion of 20 new indicators, significant enhancements to a further 14 indicators, and 21 indicators being updated without major enhancements.
