IMD: lookup by postcode or local authority

Two tools are available allowing you to download the 2015 English Indices of Deprivation cross-referenced with postcodes.

  • IMD postcode lookup: upload or type in a list of postcodes, and receive a download in Excel or CSV format containing deprivation data for those postcodes.
  • IMD area lookup: choose a county or district, and receive a download in Excel or CSV format containing a list of all postcodes in that area, together with corresponding deprivation data. Optionally, you can limit the results by deprivation domain, or by decile.
