Description

The Index of Multiple Deprivation, which was produced at LSOA level in 2007 and 2004, combines seven distinct domains of deprivation together to give an overall impression of the level of deprivation experienced by an area. The Living Environment domain combines 4 indicators to give an overall score for the level of deprivation in the quality of the local environment. The indicators used in the latest update of this domain are; - Social and private housing in poor condition - Houses without central heating - Air quality - Road traffic accidents involving injury to pedestrians and cyclists More information about this domain can be found in Chapter 2, Section 8 of the English Indices of Deprivation 2007 report http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120919132719/http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/communities/pdf/733520.pdf
