SEISA is a UK-wide area-based measure of deprivation first developed by HESA in 2021

The technical report gives further details on our methodology and the work we carried out to validate the measure. It also highlights in more depth how our measure compares to the Indices of Deprivation in each nation.

Research dataset

This dataset contains the variables we used to create our technical report. The file includes other area-based measures such as the Indices of Deprivation and TUNDRA.

This resource is aimed at researchers and analysts who wish to replicate our work or carry out their own explorations.

Please note that this is a static file and will not be updated if there are revisions to the Indices of Deprivation or TUNDRA in the future.

Linking to SEISA

This excel file consists of the output/small area code, the SEISA proportion and the corresponding SEISA deciles on both a UK-wide and country-specific basis. Further information on this is provided in the cover sheet of the document.

This resource is aimed at users who want to link SEISA information to other datasets that contain postcodes or output/small area codes. Postcodes can be mapped to output/small area codes using files provided by the Office for National Statistics.
