Priory ward boundary and best-fit LSOAs
Key findings
- Priory ranks 12th out of 21 wards in Trafford where 1 is the most deprived and 21 is the least deprived on the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019.
- The proportion of older people living in income deprived households is greater than for children in each of the LSOAs within the ward.
- The Crime domain shows that half of the LSOAs sit within the 40% most deprived nationally whilst the other half sit within the 40% least deprived nationally.
- Trafford 015B is more deprived compared to the other 5 LSOAs within the ward on the overall Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019 as well as the Income, Employment and Health domains.
Background
The English Indices of Deprivation (IoD) were published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government in September 2019. The Indices measure relative levels of deprivation in 32,844 Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) in England. Each LSOA contains approximately 1,500 residents or 650 households. They are ranked from 1 (most deprived) to 32,844 (least deprived) and assigned to a decile ranging from 1 (most deprived 10%) to 10 (least deprived 10%). Local authorities in England are also ranked from 1 to 317 based on a population weighted average rank or score of the LSOA data.
Relative deprivation is measured using 39 indicators which are grouped across seven different domains:
- Income - the proportion of the population experiencing deprivation relating to low income, including those people-out-of-work, and those who have low earnings
- Employment - the proportion of the working age population in an area involuntarily excluded from the labour market
- Education, Skills and Training - the lack of attainment and skills in the local population
- Health and Disability - the risk of premature death and the impairment of quality of life through poor physical or mental health
- Crime - the risk of personal and material victimisation at a local level
- Barriers to Housing and Services - the physical and financial accessibility of housing and local services
- Living Environment - the quality of the local environment
Each domain is combined and weighted to create the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), an overall measure of relative deprivation.
A further 2 supplementary indices of income deprivation are also provided:
- Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) - the proportion of all children aged 0 to 15 living in income deprived families
- Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI) - the proportion of all those aged 60 or over who experience income deprivation
Please note
- The Indices of Deprivation measure relative deprivation so a change in rank between 2019 and 2015 releases does not necessarily indicate a change in absolute levels of deprivation.
- The Indices of Deprivation cannot be used to quantify how deprived or affluent an area is, identify deprived people or to measure an absolute change in deprivation over time. However, it can be used to look at changes in relative deprivation between iterations of the data and to identify the most deprived small areas.
- The 39 indicators are based on data from the most recent time point available. This means that there is not one consistent time point for all the data. Although published in 2019, the latest Indices of Deprivation data are based largely on administrative data from 2015 and 2016. Similarly the 2015 publication is mainly based on data from 2012. Therefore there may be recent developments which are not yet reflected in the information published.
- The score for the Income and Employment domains as well as the two sub-domains for Income (IDACI AND IDAOPI) directly relates to the percentage of the relevant population experiencing that type of deprivation. See The English Indices of Deprivation 2019 Research Report for more information.

Relationship between LSOAs and electoral wards
Ward boundaries and LSOA boundaries do not always perfectly align and so it is impossible to aggregate from LSOA to ward exactly. Instead a ‘best-fit’ methodology is used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to assign LSOAs to the most appropriate ward. This may mean that some parts of the LSOAs discussed within this report fall outside of the ward boundary and some areas within the boundary are not covered as they have been assigned to another ward. Using this method, the ward of Priory encompasses the following 6 LSOAs:
| LSOA code | LSOA name |
|---|---|
| E01006160 | Trafford 015B |
| E01006161 | Trafford 015C |
| E01006162 | Trafford 015D |
| E01006163 | Trafford 015E |
| E01006164 | Trafford 014C |
| E01006165 | Trafford 012E |

Index of Multiple Deprivation
As mentioned above, the 7 domains are combined and weighted to create the Index of Multiple Deprivation which is an overall measure of relative deprivation. The plot below shows where the 6 LSOAs within Priory lie relative to all the LSOAs in Trafford, and in which decile.LSOAs in Priory relative to Trafford on IMD

Income
The definition of low income used includes both those people that are out-of-work, and those that are in work but who have low earnings (and who satisfy the respective means tests). A combined count of income deprived individuals is produced by summing the following non-overlapping indicators:
- Adults and children in Income Support families
- Adults and children in income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance families
- Adults and children in income-based Employment and Support Allowance families
- Adults and children in Pension Credit (Guarantee) families
- Adults and children in Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit families not already counted
- Adults and children in Universal Credit families where no adult is in ‘Working - requirements’ conditionality regime
- Asylum seekers in England in receipt of subsistence support, accommodation support, or both
