Neil O'Brien
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is the official measure of relative deprivation in England. 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 . Data on deprivation disparities is available at a range of geographical and spatial scales from this webpage.
The Department will consider an update in due course.
