The 2010 Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure (NIMDM 2010) comprises seven domains of deprivation, each developed to measure a distinct form or type of deprivation.
The NIMDM 2010 is a combination of all seven deprivation domains, weighted as follows:
Income Deprivation (25%);
Employment Deprivation (25%);
Health Deprivation and Disability (15%);
Education Skills and Training Deprivation (15%);
Proximity to Services (10%);
Living Environment (5%); and
Crime and Disorder (5%).
Results are provided for these domains and the overall multiple deprivation measure in the form of ranks. Areas are ordered from most deprived (rank 1) to least deprived. The main output geography for the deprivation measures is the Super Output Area.
