Introduction
1.1
The English Indices of Deprivation 2010 is the Government’s official measure of
relative deprivation at small area level. The 2010 indices were published in
March 2011 and supersede the Indices of Deprivation 2007.
1.2
The 2010 Indices primarily uses data from 2008 and is structured as it has been
in previous years (2004 and 2007) with seven domains which are weighted
making up the overall indices. The domains are outlined below with their
respective domain weights in brackets.







Income Deprivation (22.5%)
Employment Deprivation (22.5%)
Health Deprivation and Disability (13.5%)
Education, Skills and Training Deprivation (13.5%)
Barriers to Housing and Services (9.3%)
Crime (9.3%)
Living Environment (9.3%)
1.3
Scores and rankings are provided for each of the seven domains as well as the
overall measure of multiple deprivation. These are at Lower Super Output Area
(LSOA) level. LSOAs are low level geographies which are comparable with an
average population of 1,500.
1.4
This report shows the spread of relative deprivation across Torbay for each
domain. Each domain is compared to the previous 2007 indices and a brief
analysis accompanies the maps.
2.
Summary of Key Findings
2.1
Torbay’s relative position, based on rank of Average Score) has decreased from
71st in 2007 to 61st in 2010 nationally (where 1 is most deprived). This means
that Torbay’s relative position has worsened slightly.
2.2
Torbay is ranked as the most deprived local authority in the South West region.
2.3
For Income and Employment deprivation Torbay’s relative position nationally (out
of 326 authorities) has improved slightly between 2007 and 2010.
2.4
Across Torbay the number of Super Output Areas (SOAs) which rank in the top
10% most deprived nationally has increased from 10 to 12. The number of SOAs
which rank in the 30% most deprived nationally has increased by one from 38 to
39.
2.5
For income deprivation, although the overall position has improved there are
more people experiencing deprivation in relation to low income in 2010 than in
2007 as more SOAs rank in the top 20% most deprived. These areas are
concentrated in Watcombe, Roundham with Hyde, Ellacombe and Tormohun.
Improvements can be seen across Preston and Goodrington with Roselands.
3
2.6
For the health and disability domain, overall improvements can seen in the
number of SOAs which rank in the 30% most deprived from 35 to 28.
2.7
In terms of income deprivation affecting children there has been an increase in
the number of areas which rank in the top 10% most deprived. The increase in
areas is across Torquay. The number of children aged 0 to 15 who are living in
areas which rank in the 10% most deprived has increased from 681 in 2007 to
2,301 in 2010.
2.8
For income deprivation affecting older people there have been some
improvements in areas such as Ellacombe and St. Mary’s with Summercombe,
2.9
Watcombe appears to be a significant area in the 2010 Indices. Relative
deprivation appears to have got worse. A pattern of one or two SOAs
(depending on the domain) now rank in the 10% most deprived nationally for all
domains except barriers to housing and services where they didn’t rank this
highly previously.

3.
Torbay Wide Findings
3.1
Differences across local authorities are difficult to compare given the variety in
how local authorities are comprised. No two local authorities are the same so like
for like comparisons cannot be drawn. To describe the differences between local
authorities, the six summary measures of the overall Index of Multiple
Deprivation have been produced.
3.2
These summary measures at local authority level focus on different aspects of
multiple deprivation and no single measure is favoured over another, as there is
no single or best way of describing local authorities. However, the measure
which is most commonly used to make comparisons is the Rank of Average
Score.
Measure
Definition
Rank of population weighted average of the combined scores for the
SOAs in a district, where 1 is most deprived.
Rank of population weighted average of the combined ranks for the
SOAs in a district, where 1 is most deprived

An overview of the summary measures is outlined in figure 1. In all cases a
rank of 1 is the most deprived.

The 2010 Indices ranks Torbay as the 61st most deprived local
authority area in England for rank of average score from 71st in 2007.

The 2010 Indices ranks Torbay as the most deprived local authority

Appendix: The Domains and Indicators
The overall Index of Multiple Deprivation is comprised of seven domains of deprivation.
Each domain contains a number of component indicators. Each domain and it’s
component indicators are outlined below.
Income Deprivation
This domain measures the proportion of people in an area experiencing deprivation
relating to low income. A combined count of income deprived individuals per LSOA is
calculated by summing the following five indicators:





Adults and children in Income Support families
Adults and children in Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance families
Adults and children in Pension Credit (Guarantee) families
Adults and Children in Child Tax Credit families (who are not in receipt of Income Support,
Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance or Pension Credit) whose equivalised income
(excluding housing benefits) is below 60 per cent of the median before housing costs
Asylum seekers in England in receipt of subsistence support, accommodation support, or
both.
Employment Deprivation
This domain measures employment deprivation in an area conceptualised as involuntary
exclusion of the working age population from the labour market. A combined count of
employment deprived individuals per LSOA is calculated by summing the following seven
indicators:







Claimants of Jobseeker’s Allowance (both Contributory and Income-Based)
women aged 18-59 and men aged 18-64, averaged over 4 quarters
Claimants of Incapacity Benefits women aged 18-59 and men aged 18-64, averaged over
4 quarters
Claimants of Severe Disablement Allowance women aged 18-59 and men aged
18-64, averaged over 4 quarters
Claimants of Employment Support Allowance women aged 18-59 and men aged
18-64, averaged over 4 quarters
Participants in New Deal for 18-24s who are not in receipt of Jobseeker’s
Allowance, averaged over 4 quarters
Participants of New Deal for 25+ who are in receipt of Jobseeker’s Allowance,
averaged over 4 quarters
Participants in New Deal for Lone Parents (after initial interview) aged over 18,
averaged over 4 quarters.
Health Deprivation and Disability Domain
This domain measures premature death and the impairment of quality of life by poor
health. It considers both physical and mental health. The domain measures morbidity,
disability and premature mortality but not aspects of behaviour or environment that may
be predictive of future health deprivation. Four indicators are used to calculate this
domain:


Years of potential life lost – an age and sex standarised measure of premature
death
Comparative illness and disability ratio – an age and sex standardised measure of
morbidity and disability
26


Measures of acute morbidity – an age and sex standardised rate of emergency
admissions to hospital
Proportion of adults under 60 suffering from mood or anxiety disorders – a
modelled indicator for the proportion pf adults suffering from mood and anxiety disorders.
Education, Skills and Training Deprivation Domain
This domain measures the extent of deprivation in terms of education, skills and training
in an area. The indicators are structured into two sub domains: one relating to children
and young people and one relating to adult skills. These two sub-domains are designed
to reflect the ‘flow’ and ‘stock’ of educational disadvantage within an area respectively.
Seven indicators are used to calculate this domain:
Sub-domain: Children/Young People






Average points score of pupils taking English, Maths and Science Key Stage 2
exams
Average points score of pupils taking English, Maths and Science Key Stage 3
exams
Average capped points score of pupils taking Key Stage 4 (GCSE or equivalent)
exams
Proportion of young people not staying on in school or non-advanced education
above aged 16
Secondary school absence rate – the proportion of authorised and unauthorised
absences from secondary school
Proportion of those aged under 21 not entering Higher Education
Sub-domain: Skills
 Proportion of adults aged 25-54 with no or low qualifications
Barriers to Housing and Services Domain
This domain measures the physical and financial accessibility of housing and key local services.
The indicators fall into two sub-domains: ‘geographical barriers’, which relate to the physical
proximity of local services, and ‘wider barriers’ which includes issues relating to access to housing
such as affordability. Seven indicators are combined to calculate this domain:
Sub-domain: Wider barriers
 Household overcrowding – the proportion of households within an LSOA which are judged
to have insufficient space to meet the household’s needs
 Homelessness – the rate of acceptances for housing assistance under the homelessness
provisions of the 1996 Housing Act (at a local authority level)
 Difficulty of access to owner-occupation (local authority district level) – proportion of
households aged under 35 whose income means they are unable to afford to enter owner
occupation.
Sub-domain: Geographical barriers
 Road distance to a GP surgery
 Road distance to a supermarket
 Road distance to a primary school
 Road distance to a Post Office.
Crime Domain
This domain measures the rate of recorded crime in an area for four major crime types
representing the risk of personal and material victimisation at a small area level.
27




Violence – number of reported violent crimes (19 reported crime types) per 1,000 at risk
population
Burglary – number of reported burglaries (4 reported crimes types) per 1,000 at risk
population
Theft – number pf reported thefts (5 reported crime types) per 1,000 population
Criminal damage – number of reported crimes (11 reported crime types) per 1,000 at risk
population.
Living Environment Deprivation Domain
This domain measures the quality of individual’s immediate surroundings both within and outside
the home. The indicators fall into two sub-domains: the ‘indoors’ living environment, which
measures the quality of housing, and the ‘outdoors’ living environment which contains two
measures relating to air quality and road traffic accidents. Four indicators are combined to
calculate this domain:
Sub-domain: The indoors living environment
 Social and private housing in poor condition
 Houses without central heating
Sub-domain: The outdoors living environment
 Air quality
 Road traffic accidents
