| What exactly is LSOA? |
| When the Census was conducted, the Government needed to group households together into units which were small enough to provide meaningful statistics, yet large enough to protect the individuals involved. This unit is known as Lower Super Output Area. Please see National Statistics |

| What is "Index of Multiple Deprivation" / "Quality of Life Indicator"? |
| The deprivation index measures how deprived an output area is in comparison to all the other output areas in the same country. This means the measure is a ranking where 1 is the most deprived and 32,482 is the least deprived in England, and 1,896 is the least deprived in Wales. At LSOA level there were separate deprivation indices for income; employment; education, skills and training; health; barriers to housing and services; the living environment; and crime. These are combined to form the "Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD)" which is used for the "Quality of Life Indicator". |
