Figures are regenerated from our pipelines on a rolling schedule; this HTML snapshot was built on 5 Apr 2026.

Decile 5/10 in England — This small area sits around the middle of the official England neighbourhood wellbeing ranking. Official small-area indices rank parts of England within that nation only; do not treat deciles as comparable across England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Use deprivation for within-nation context only. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland publish different measures, methods, and release years.
