The IMD (2010) is the official statistic for neighbourhood-level deprivation in England and ranks each of the 32 482 neighbourhoods in order of deprivation. The IMD is a composite index comprising income, employment, health and disability, education skills and training, barriers to housing, crime and environmental metrics. It does not include ethnicity. It is based on the patient's registered address. In this analysis, the value provided for IMD is the median centile where a higher number indicates a higher level of deprivation.
