Having worked for the borough council in the early 2000’s that doesn’t surprise me and in 2025 less so. |  |

Does that mean about two neighbourhoods? Not sure how many Ipswich has (or what would constitute a neighbourhood). |  | | |

Looking at the map from the OPs link, I count 11 neighbourhoods with the darkest colour (most deprived). There is a fair number of neighbourhoods on there. |  | | |

Its average although its country wide so includes all rural areas so not actually that bad. Has a few areas of deprivation but compared to many towns or cities is generally ok. |  | | |

I haven't checked, but assume most the deprived areas are up North though. Be a much lower average for south England. |  |

Top 10 are:
Middlesbrough (50%)
Birmingham
Hartlepool
Hull
Manchester
Blackpool
Knowsley (just outside Liverpool)
Burnley
Blackburn
Oldham (37.3%)
EDIT: The worst place in the South is Hastings which only misses out for a couple of percent. Worst in East Anglia are Great Yarmouth (25%) and Tendring (20%). Ipswich are Norwich on 13% and 12% respectively. [Post edited 30 Oct 14:31]

Norwich by comparison is 74th most deprived with 12% of Neighbourhoods that are highly deprived. |  |

Exactly, apart from the likes of Jawick and a few in the south most would be north. Having lived in Newcastle and Leeds, even the worst parts of Ipswich are posh in comparison | | | |

Interestingly (or maybe not), since the last IMD roll out about seven years ago, Suffolk Coastal and Waveney merged into East Suffolk. I suspect Waveney's figure would be substantially higher than 8% on it's own. Colchester looks quite low at 2% but their borough boundaries stretch way outside of the town itself into wealthy rural areas.
The best indicator of these sort of stats is by concentration of deprivation by smaller output areas rather than an average spread of a district. [Post edited 30 Oct 15:49]

Jeez. Wales gets £1.8M per year for 10 years plus a one off £33M. £213M over 10 years. Equivalent to about two fraudulent Michelle Mone contracts. We had over £2BN for regional development during the last EU funding cycle, so just the £1.8BN shortfall. |  |

Astonishingly given what it once was, no neighbourhood in Southwark is highly deprived, a combination presumably of things like gentrification and greater infrastructure investment than the north. [Post edited 30 Oct 16:33]

But I am pleased to see not so grim in Liverpool where I have just come back from and which always gets far more criticism than it deserves. | | | |

Wow, my borough is the least deprived! That’s shocking given parts of it are a bit grim. Edit: all boroughs with no LSOAs are joint least deprived. [Post edited 30 Oct 19:26]

Whitehouse was picked as one of the trial areas for electronic voting during Tony Blairs government, so at least 20-25 years ago, because it was one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in the country according to the ONS data at the time. | | | |

Isn't Jaywick officially the most deprived area in the country though? Four years in a row they've 'won' that title. |  |

A couple of the darkest areas on that map surprise me, but it's tricky to ascertain exactly where they are without the roads being shown. The one bottom left for example, is that the relatively new area between Ellenbrook and Stoke Park? Although doesn't that fall outside the borough so it's probably Belstead Hills/Sheldrake Drive?
And then there's the one near the town centre, that seems to arc from the Wet Dock towards Christchurch Park. Wouldn't that include areas like Hervey Street, Tuddenham Road and Avenue, Gainsborough and Constable Roads which have never struck me as overly deprived, or is it Cavendish Street, Wellesley Road etc?

Bottom left is deepest Stoke Park - Downside, Whitland etc
Not sure exactly which spot you mean on the second part, but to cover the darkest red areas around the docks I think it’s the following:
- to the left is Stoke; Austin, Turin St et al
- to the right is Greenwich
- the bit above is around the college area, Rope Walk etc | |

Not saying it's marvellous but it gets far more unfair stick than somewhere like Manchester which on all sorts of measures consistently ranks worse than it. [Post edited 31 Oct 10:47]

Yep, all still the case looking at the latest map - just didn’t mention as my response was specific to the two areas highlighted by another poster
There’s a real noticeable north-east / south-west split when you look at the map too, unsurprisingly | |
