Small-area deprivation indices for England and Wales

Source: R/bundled.R
lamp_deprivation.Rd

The English Indices of Deprivation 2025 (IoD2025, 33,755 LSOAs) and the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2025 (WIMD2025, 1,917 LSOAs), both on 2021 LSOAs, as a compact table for covariates and heterogeneity analysis. The two indices are separate national rankings built from different indicators, so ranks and deciles are comparable only within a country; rank / n_lsoas gives a within-country percentile. Domain deciles cover the seven domains the two indices share; Wales's community safety domain is held in decile_crime and its physical environment domain in decile_environment. England's domain deciles are as published; Wales's are formed within Wales from the published domain ranks, with the same thresholds as its published overall decile.

Usage
