Pride in Place Analysis

Turning local evidence into clear priorities for Pride in Place investment

Pride in Place Analysis helps organisations understand the local needs and challenges that Pride in Place investment is designed to address.

Drawing on our expertise in the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), the Community Needs Index (CNI) and a wide range of supporting socio-economic indicators, we analyse how different dimensions of need are distributed across neighbourhoods. This provides a detailed picture of the issues where targeted investment could have the greatest impact.

The analysis explores patterns of need at a very local level, looking at smaller neighbourhoods within the Pride in Place Neighbourhood and benchmarking them against wider areas such as local authorities, counties and England as a whole.

We also examine how different challenges overlap, helping you understand whether pressures are primarily driven by economic disadvantage, connectivity and access to services, or gaps in community infrastructure and social assets.

  • Identify where Pride in Place investment could have the greatest impact
  • Understand the underlying drivers of need in local communities
  • Set clear priorities for programmes and partnerships
  • Provide a baseline for evaluating the impact of the Pride in Place investment
  • Communicate robust local evidence to partners, funders and residents

Understanding your priorities

Selecting the most relevant indicators

Exploring patterns of need

Our analysis identifies where different dimensions of deprivation and community need overlap, highlighting neighbourhoods facing the most significant or complex challenges.
