This information looks at the levels of deprivation in Barnsley, measured by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2019. The IMD is published by Communities for Local Government.

- health and disability
- barriers to housing and services

Reducing levels of deprivation and inequality has an important part to play in the continued improvement of Barnsley.
