Our results were as expected. That is, those areas had lower levels of income and higher proportions of households living in social housing or reporting that they were single-parent families. Residents in these areas also had a higher probability of stating that they were in bad/very bad health.
Additionally, given the issues noted above pakistan rcs data with existing area-based indicators in terms of picking up deprivation in rural areas, we also examined whether our measure captured a greater proportion of such localities in the bottom quintile. We found this to be the case.
How might this measure benefit UK data service users?
If you are a researcher interested in utilising one of the UK-wide studies available from the UK Data Service (such as the Millennium Cohort Study or Understanding Society), there is currently no appropriate UK-wide area-based measure of deprivation available to you to the best of our knowledge. Instead, you may have to rely solely on an individual-measure such as parental occupation or household earnings for a UK-wide analysis, despite the possibility that areas have a role in whether or not individuals reach their potential. Additionally, for those carrying out country-specific research, you may be looking for additional/alternative variables to the Indices of Deprivation as part of your study.
