DLUHC consultation on the Indices of Multiple Deprivation

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities are considering how best to update the Indices of Deprivation (IoD) from the most recent publication in 2019

It is important that any future release continues to meet the broadest range of user needs, whilst also continuing to draw on the most up-to-date and relevant data available to measure multiple deprivation at a small-area level.

They are keen to hear directly from users regarding their use of the IoD, including feedback on its methodology, data sources and outputs.

Responses will feed directly into any future planning process for IoD releases.

The consultation ends on 23 September 2022
