Maps

In order to better understand and track the economic impacts of COVID-19 on our communities, a time series Power BI dashboard of maps has been produced illustrating the change in the percentage of the working age population claiming Universal credit and Job Seeker Allowance claimants.

This slide set contains a series of maps illustrating the geographic variation in the number of shield patients in the city, and the variation in clinical and non-clinical vulnerabilities as a result of COVID-19. In addition, the slide set also contains a time series of maps illustrating the change in the percentage of the working age population claiming Universal credit and Job Seeker Allowance claimants.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) published the latest Indices of Deprivation (IoD) in 2019. The Indices of Deprivation (2019) provides a relative ranking of areas across the country according to their level of deprivation and is the primary source of information on deprivation in England. The IMD measures deprivation at neighbourhood level known as Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs), which contain approximately 1,500 people, and ranks each of the 32,844 LSOAs in England by their level of deprivation and splits them into 10 equal groups known as deciles. The original IMD data produced by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) can be downloaded below along with a summary slide set. In addition a series of maps are also available below illustrating the deprivation decile assignment for each of Southampton’s 148 LSOAs for each domain of deprivation, along with an interactive mapping tool produced by MHCLG, which allows the data for the whole of England to be explored and compared with 2015.

Southampton is ranked 67th on the overall IMD 2015 out of the 326 Local Authorities in England (1 equals the most deprived). Previously for IMD 2010 Southampton ranked 81st so has become relatively more deprived. The majority of the data underpinning the IMD 2015 represents 2012/13. A selection of maps from the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015, for each domain, are available below.

Datasets were drawn together at lower super output area level in order to assess differences between neighbourhoods in the city. These were then combined into an index for each life stage and mapped to show areas, which may have an increased risk of social isolation in the city.
