Representative
About
The ONS is keen to establish a long term, small area geography policy which will be used for Census 2011 and Neighbourhood Statistics. The aim is to support the production of coherent and useful data that can be used with confidence by all organisations.
The consultation paper is available online. This describes all policy proposals, the background to them, and a number of attendant issues. Please take the time to get involved by responding to the survey and joining in the debate around the blog posts.

Deprivation by a variety of small areas

Hi Julian, hope all going well for you!
I am in the process of building flexible deprivation measures for 1991 and 2001 by the 2001 geographies. You can build up from OAs to whatever geography you want and have comparable deprivation scores for 1991 and 2001 to see how change over time affects health outcomes.
I also will have mortality for the 1990s & LLTI for 1991 converted to 2001 OAs to look at health-deprivation relationship changes over time.
Nick, I started filling out your survey but got bored part way through!!
Best wishes
Paul
