Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the top 20 per cent most deprived areas in the country, as determined by the indices of multiple deprivation.

The most recent iteration of the English Indices of Deprivation was published in September 2019 and all resources are available online here - https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-indices-of-deprivation-2019

File 1 provides relative ranks and deciles for all small areas or neighbourhoods across England for the combined Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) measure. File 10 provides relative ranks for Local Authority districts as at time of publication and the Frequently Asked Questions document provides guidance on how to produce decile rankings as required.
