2019 Indices of deprivation

At Stories, we are spending a lot of time at the moment working with various partners who share our ambition for property development to be done in a way that is focused on improving the lives of people. In many cases the conversations involve discussions about local deprivation, how do you create robust baselines and what might a theory of local change look like for that community. Until yesterday we were working with somewhat dated information (from 2015) so its great to see a raft of new data released - and with some fancy new mapping formats https://www.gov.uk/guidance/english-indices-of-deprivation-2019-mapping-resources

Do drop us a line if you're also using these kind of data sets to inform your thinking. We host regular Social Impact round-tables at our office - always interested to hear new voices at the table.
