IDACI: Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index


This is interesting data compiled by the local authority but freely available. The following information explains what it all means. You'll need to zoom in quite a bit to find us!

IDACI is the ‘Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index’, a subset of the Index of Multiple Deprivation. The index itself represents the proportion of children under the age of 16 within an LSOA that live in low-income households. A higher raw score is therefore an indicator that an LSOA is more deprived.

IDACI provides a raw score and a national ranking (within England) of each Lower-layer Super Output Area (LSOA). We have divided this data into quintiles (5 groups of 20%) and used it as a source for thematic mapping of the deprivation index in five ‘bands’. This overlays a base map of Southampton along with the relevant school, and a map object (‘point’) representing each postcode in which there is a pupil on roll at your school.

You can look up IDACI values (by postcode) yourself here: http://www.education.gov.uk/cgi-bin/inyourarea/idaci.pl
