The Rural Share of Deprivation in Devon

Rural Devon is substantially more deprived based on the location of deprived people than on the location of deprived areas.

This is the key finding from the Rural Share of Deprivation in Devon research, commissioned by the South West ACRE Network (SWAN), undertaken by the Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion (OCSI), and promoted in Devon by CCD.

The Executive Summary only contains a fraction of the full data available to partners.  Data and reports are available at the following levels across the South West:

The Information is available for:

  1. ‘Rural share’ and ‘rural rate’ of deprivation across a wide range of indicators (including those highlighted in the Executive Summary)
  2. Workplace and resident populations in rural areas (not available for settlements)
