Inquiry: Availability of 2010 IMD Quintile Data
80%
Description
Dear Understanding Society User Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to inquire about the availability of 2010 IMD quintile data for England in the Understanding Society dataset (GN 33423) - I am using SN6614 for access to Waves 1-14 of Understanding Society UKHLS. I noticed that IMD quintile data for England is currently available for 2015 and 2019, but not for 2010, despite the UKHLS commencing in 2009.
As my research involves longitudinal analysis, having access to the 2010 IMD data would greatly enhance my ability to examine the relationships between education, neighbourhood deprivation, and health outcomes over time.
Could you kindly provide clarification on why the 2010 IMD quintile data is not included?
Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.
Kind regards,
Gabriel Hollis

Hi Gabriel,
We had to decide on which LSOA to use for the IMDs and we settled on LSOA2011 as that covered the IMDs for most of the period for UKHLS. IMD2010 ranking is based on the 2001 Census (LSOA2001), therefore it is unavailable.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
