* Quintiles:
The ID 2007 provides a relative ranking of areas across England according to their level of deprivation.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 (IMD 2007) which forms part of the ID 2007 is based on the small 
area geography known as Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs). LSOAs have between 1000 and 3000 
people living in them with an average population of 1500 people. In most cases, these are smaller than 
wards, thus allowing the identification of small pockets of deprivation

Each LSOA is ranked according to deprivation score.  From this ranking five quintiles 
are produced, with “1” as the most deprived and “5” as the least deprived.

**  The health dimension in this table is based on the 2001 Census variable Health and Disability deprivation, household indicator.
1. General health refers to health over the 12 months prior to Census day (29 April 2001).
2. A household is 'deprived' in the Health and disability dimension if any member of the household has general health 'not good' in the year before Census or has a limiting long term illness.
i. This household characteristic does not relate to any National Statistics indicator of deprivation or disadvantage.
ii. The classification is independent of the DTLR Index of Multiple Deprivation.
3. A dependent child is a person in a household aged 0 to 15 (whether or not in a family) or a person aged 16 to 18 who is a full-time student in a family with parent(s). An adult in a household is defined as a person who is not a dependent child.
