The distribution of ethnic inequality in deprivation within Local Authorities

The analyses and data in this repo are based on the Ethnic Group Deprivation Index (Lloyd et al. 2023) https://gedi.ac.uk/egdi/

And inspired by the approach the Office for National Statistics took for profiling Local Authorities based on the spread of income distribution https://www.ons.gov.uk/visualisations/dvc1371/#/E09000030

The ONS very kindly shared their approach for building the profiles in this dataset: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/datasets/mappingincomedeprivationatalocalauthoritylevel

Local Authority profiles data

EGDI-Local-Authority-profiles.xlsx is an Excel version of the Local Authority profiles, including sparklines showing the distribution of inequality within.

egdi-ltla22-profiles.csv provides a list of Local Authorities and their profiles in .csv format.

Creating the profiles

The R script in R/create local authority profiles.R contains the code to replicate this analysis.
