Description: The CIMD allows for an understanding of inequalities through various measures of social well-being, including health, education and justice. While it is a geographically-based index of deprivation and marginalization, it can also be used as a proxy for an individual. Dimensions of deprivation included in the CIMD are: residential instability, economic dependency, ethno-cultural composition and situational vulnerability.
