ID 2007 Income Scale: Income Deprivation in England

England's 2007 Income Deprivation scale measures the number of people considered income deprived. The data originates from administrative sources processed by the UK's Communities and Local Government department and was published by Neighbourhood Statistics. It covers Local Authority Districts and County/Unitary Authorities across England, using data from 2005 to 2006.

Use Cases

• Analyzing socioeconomic inequality trends based on the 2007 deprivation scale derived from 2005-2006 data.
• Informing local government resource allocation based on the count of income-deprived individuals.
• Benchmarking local authority performance against national deprivation indicators.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from official UK government administrative records, suggesting a high degree of authority.
• Provides geographic coverage for all Local Authority Districts and County/Unitary Authorities in England.

Limitations
