Indices of Deprivation by Postcode

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government have developed a useful tool which will help you understand the areas in which your customers live and the levels of deprivation in different areas.

Either enter a postcode or a number of postcodes and the tool will return results for all the Indices of Deprivation for the LSOA in which the postcode falls.
Or alternatively if you have a set of customer addresses upload these to the tool and the tool will return results for the Indices of Deprivation by LSOA.
The results can then be exported as either an excel or CSV output. Please explore the tool by clicking on the image below.
