'Deprived areas' are determined by the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010 (IMD 2010), which provides a relative ranking of areas across England according to their level of deprivation.  The areas are a geography called Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs), which have an average population of 1500 people.
