Conclusion

• Ranks and deciles not so useful for us
• Scores only meaningful for Income and Employment Deprivation (percentage of population)
• Income and Employment Deprivation seem to be computed very similarly for England, Wales, Scotland and even Northern Ireland
• Indices and Scores available for all countries
• Postcodes maps available for LSOA
