Index of Deprivation 2004

The IMD2000 was revised by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) in 2004 with updated and additional data and called the Index of Deprivation 2004 (ID2004). Another improvement on the previous indices is that the ID2004 utilises the newly defined ONS Super Output Areas (SOAs) as its primary reporting geography rather than electoral wards. Since SOA's are generally much smaller than wards this allows for much smaller pockets of deprivation to be identified by the Index than was previously the case using wards.

Information on Super Output Areas is available from the Office of National Statistics website.

With the release of each new index, officers of the County Council prepare summary reports and charts for elected members detailing the implications of the new measure for County Durham. The Adobe documents below detail the report and the supporting maps produced for each domain in the index.

A note of caution should be sounded here, however, regarding making inferences, on the basis of these reports, about changing levels of deprivation in the County over the period 2000-2004; for there have been too many changes to the methodology of the Index over the intervening period to make this possible.
