All
I would like to calculate local deprivation scores (Jarman & Townsend) at ED level. I have Ward level data.
Does anyone know either where I can get such ED deprivation files or know the formula or relevant publications. I can access the MIDAS SAS Census data if I have to re-run the algorithm.
I dont seem to be able to find the right publication.
Many thanks.
ps:
Thank-you to those who have replied about LA code linkages and about GIS mapping.
My conclusions are:
LA mapping especially the 1996 changes and unitary authorities are complex.
The Postcode PAF files tend to use the latest LA codes (ie not always Census compatible).
There is Postcode to 1991 Enumeration District software (PC2ED) available at MIDAS.
Mapping software can be expensive. (there was a MAPINFO beta on the web).
GIS Boundaries are available at EDINA.
Both MIDAS and EDINA need university / research linkages to use.
