The most and least deprived areas of Merseyside have been revealed in census data.
Using data collected in last year's census, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) produced an interactive map which shows which areas are affected the most and least. The ONS uses four 'dimensions' of deprivation, which are education, employment, health and housing.
In the ONS's terms, a household is classified as deprived in the education dimension if no one has at least level 2 education and no one aged 16 to 18 years is a full-time student. In terms of employment, a household is deemed to be deprived if any member, not a full-time student, is either unemployed or disabled.
