How this ranking is made

IMD average score: the published population-weighted average score for the district, unchanged.. The population-weighted average Index of Multiple Deprivation score of each district's small areas, from the IoD2025 local authority district summaries. A higher score means the district's small areas are on average more deprived relative to the rest of England at one moment; scores are not comparable between index editions, so no change is mapped.

Percentiles are calculated across the whole UK, so they do not change when the table is filtered to one nation. A ranking compares areas of very different sizes and populations; the figure is the publisher’s own, and its rank is Civometry’s ordering of those published figures.
