Indices of Deprivation for England:

Stratford-on-Avon District Results

The latest Indices of Deprivation (IoD) for England were released on 30 October 2025, updating the last previous IMD of 2019.

The IoD measures levels of relative deprivation across 33,755 small areas or neighbourhoods in England, known as Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs). These small areas are designed to be of a similar population size with approximately 1,500 residents/650 households each.

Each of the 33,755 small areas in England are ranked, with the most deprived given a rank of 1, the least deprived given a rank of 33,755.

As the IoD measure relative deprivation, not actual deprivation, a change in rank from one year to the next can only show that an area has become more or less deprived in relation to other areas, not necessarily in absolute terms.

The IoD are constructed from multiple sources of data relating to seven separate 'domains': Income, employment, health/disability, education/skills/training, housing, crime and living environment. These are calculated separately, and an overall index - the Index of Multiple Deprivation - is created as a weighted sum of all seven domains.

Please read The Indices of Deprivation 2025 Report to see how the LSOA small areas in Stratford-on-Avon District fared across the indices and what this means for the District.
