Maps
These maps show health indicators for different geographies. Lower layer super output areas (LSOA) have a population of 1,000-3,000 people (or 400-1,200 households) and middle layer super output areas (MSOA) have a population of 5,000-15,000 people (or 2,000-6,000 households). The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) combines information from seven domains (income; employment; education, skills and training; health and disability; crime; barriers to housing and services; and living environment) to measure deprivation in LSOAs..
