Rural deprivation in the South West
Rural areas are substantially more deprived based on the location of deprived people than based on the location
of deprived areas

Across the South West, only 11 of the 300 most deprived
areas - based on the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007
(those in the most deprived 20% of all areas across
England) - are classified as rural.

However, 90,300 people of working age in rural areas are receiving some form of DWP benefit – one-quarter of all such claimants across
the South West.
