Deprivation in English constituencies, 2025
This paper looks at relative levels of deprivation across constituencies in England, including which constituencies have become more deprived or less deprived relative to other areas.
This briefing presents deprivation statistics for parliamentary constituencies in England. Estimates have been calculated by the House of Commons Library using data published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in the English Indices of Deprivation 2025 statistical release (largely based on data for 2022/23).
- There are concentrations of deprivation in cities like Liverpool, Birmingham and Leeds, in the North East, and in parts of London.
- 348 out of 543 constituencies in England contain at least one small area that is among the 10% most deprived in England.
- Comparing the 2025 figures with the 2019 Indices of Deprivation, constituencies that have become relatively more deprived include many constituencies in London, while some constituencies in Bristol and Leeds are relatively less deprived.
The table published alongside this paper provide Deprivation ranks for all English constituencies (2024 boundaries).
The MHCLG research report and technical report contain extensive analysis of the deprivation data and explains in detail how the figures are put together, and provide an online mapping tool to show patterns across England. Deprivation data for other parts of the UK are produced by the devolved administrations and are not directly comparable.
The Library’s deprivation dashboard provides constituency ranks by domain, as well as a map showing deprivation ranks for neighbourhoods in each constituency.
The Library Insight English deprivation data in 2025: What has changed? provides an overview of the changes in the 2025 deprivation data.
