Data package / Dataset R
IMD
Access deprivation indices and community needs data for all four UK nations.
What it helps with
An R package providing Indices of Multiple Deprivation at several geographical levels, Community Needs Index files and selected household deprivation figures. A released version is available on CRAN; data downloads are linked in its README.
What you need
Requires an R installation and the project’s documented dependencies.
Coverage and considerations
National deprivation indices use different methods and dates. Do not assume their scores are directly comparable. Consult the documentation for any composite UK comparisons.
Sources and reuse
Check the project’s documentation and original data sources for definitions, attribution and reuse terms.
