As part of the 2021 census, households in England and Wales were classified in terms of four different "dimensions of deprivation”.
Households were considered to be deprived if they met one of the four following criteria:
Employment: if any member of the household, who is not a full-time student, is either unemployed or long-term sick
Education: if no person in the household has at least five or more GCSE passes or equivalent and no-one aged 16 to 18 years is a full-time student
Health and Disability: if anyone in the household is in bad or very bad health or is disabled
Housing: if the home is either overcrowded, in a shared dwelling or has no central heating
Households were not considered to be deprived if they didn’t meet any of these criteria.
Across England, the council areas with the highest proportion of households that were not deprived included Elmbridge in Surrey (61.9%), Wokingham in Berkshire (61.5%) and Richmond upon Thames in London (61%).
