The 2017 Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measures (NIMDM 2017) were published on 23rd November 2017 by OpenDataNI. It provides information for 7 distinct types of deprivation, known as domains, along with an overall multiple deprivation measure, comprising 38 indicators in total. The measures rank areas within Northern Ireland from most to least deprived but do not quantify the extent of deprivation differences.
Use Cases
