2. Background
The IMD measures and rates a number of different domains affecting quality of life including income, employment, education and skills, health and disability, crime, barriers to services and quality of living environments.
It is important to note that the IMD ranks levels deprivation across neighbourhoods in England. It does not report absolute improvement or worsening of local deprivation. A neighbourhood may have reduced deprivation in overall terms, but if other areas nationally have improved by a larger amount against the domains measured in the IMD, then that neighbourhood’s rank will be shown as having worsened.
It is also useful to note that the raw data for IMD 2015 was collected by ONS in the period 2012/13.

9. Lower Layer Super Output Areas
Lower Layer SOAs were first built using 2001 Census data from groups of Output Areas (typically four to six) and were updated following the 2011 Census.
They have an average of roughly 1,500 residents and 650 households. Measures of proximity (to give a reasonably compact shape) and social homogeneity (to encourage areas of similar social background) are also included.
1.09% of LSOAs were changed following the 2011 Census in order to maintain the characteristics described above. There are now 34,753 LSOAs in England and Wales.
There are now 120 LSOAs in York (from 118 in 2001) – the additional LSOAs are in Guildhall and Micklegate Wards.
