We are updating the English Indices of Deprivation in 2025

Following a competitive tender process, OCSI has been commissioned to update the English Indices of Deprivation alongside Deprivation.org on behalf of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) – formerly the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC).

This marks the third consecutive iteration of the indices we are (co)leading on, and we are proud to play a central role in the continued development of the Indices of Deprivation.

The project seeks to review, update, enhance and develop the English Indices of Deprivation from its most recent release in 2019, including insights gathered through the 2022 user consultation which aimed to ensure that the resources and datasets made available continue to meet the broadest range of user needs. 

The English Indices of Deprivation 2025 have now been published.

If you would like to stay informed on the Indices of Deprivation and receive updates and analysis, the best way to do so is to subscribe to our Indices of Deprivation mailing list. 

We provide a range of support services for analysing the Indices of Deprivation (including our new Indices on Demand service).
