The English Indices of Deprivation are an important tool for identifying the most deprived areas in England. Local policy makers and communities can also use this tool to ensure that their activities prioritise the areas with greatest need for services.

The English Indices of Deprivation 2019 is the sixth release in a series of statistics produced to measure multiple forms of deprivation at the small spatial scale. Following engagement with key user groups and data providing departments, and a significant programme of work by the research team, the Indices of Deprivation 2019 retain broadly the same methodology, domains and indicators as the earlier Indices of Deprivation 2015, 2010, 2007, 2004 and 2000.

This report outlines the theory underpinning the model of multiple deprivation, the methods that were used, and describes the domains and indicators that make up the Indices of Deprivation 2019. A small number of changes to the indicators have been made, for example due to better availability of data, which are described in this report.
