Health & Disability Deprivation

The number of North Yorkshire LSOAs within the most deprived national quintile in terms of Health Deprivation & Disability has fallen from 22 in 2010 to 21 in 2015.

The distribution of ranks in the less deprived quintiles has increased toward the least deprived end of the scale, as the ‘barcode’ charts below illustrate. They show the distribution of North Yorkshire LSOAs within the national context. The black lines represent the North Yorkshire LSOAs while the coloured background represents the full range of LSOAs in England. The most deprived LSOAs appear at the right side of the chart, with the least deprived on the left. LSOAs which appear to the right of the red line fall within the worst 20% in England.

The Health & Disability domain is produced using data on years of potential life lost; the Comparative Illness and Disability Ratio; acute morbidity; and mood and anxiety disorders.
