  5. eDeprivation data from English Indices of Deprivation 2019 [53]. The IoD2019 is comprised of seven distinct domains of deprivation which, when combined and appropriately weighted, form the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019. Income (22.5%), Employment (22.5%), Health Deprivation and Disability (13.5%), Education, skills and training (13.5%), Crime (9.3%), Barriers to Housing and Services (9.3%), Living Environment (9.3%)
  6. fLSOAs (Lower-Layer Super Output Area) are standard areas created for the purpose of statistical analysis. There are 32,844 LSOAs in England, with an average population of 1500. Each LSOA in England is ranked from most deprived (rank of 1) to least deprived (rank of 32,844) [53]
  7. gExtent – The “extent” measure is a summary of the proportion of the local population that live in areas classified as among the most deprived in the country. The “extent” measure uses a weighted measure of the population in the most deprived 30% of all areas. The population living in the most deprived 10% of LSOAs in England received a “weight” of 1.0. The population living in the most deprived 11 to 30% of LSOAs receive a sliding weight, ranging from 0.95 for those in the most deprived eleventh percentile, to 0.05 for those in the most deprived thirtieth percentile. This provides an indication of the extent of deprivation in each local authority area [54].
  8. hRank of Extent – Once the “extent” measure has been calculated as described, the local authority areas are ranked from most deprived (a rank of 1) to least deprived (a rank of 317) on this measure producing the “rank of extent” summary measure [54]
