Deprivation
New national and local deprivation data – English Indices of Deprivation 2010 (IMD 2010) has recently been published.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD)1 measures the level of deprivation in each “lower
super output area” (LSOA) in England and ranks each LSOA according to how deprived it
is compared to the others – with 1 being the highest (most deprived) and 32,482 being the
least deprived in the country.
The maps on the following pages show the overall deprivation across Islington, together
with maps for income deprivation (older people and children) to give an indication of older
people and child poverty across the borough.
There are 7 or 8 LSOAs in each ward in Islington (118 overall). The following ward data is
based on aggregating the LSOA data. This is not ‘official’ IMD data and is therefore
described as “provisional” data.

Overall Islington’s deprivation ‘score’ of 35.87 was the 14th highest deprivation score
in England and 5th highest in London.

This is an improvement on the position 3 years ago (IMD 2007) when Islington ranked
8th most deprived nationally and 4th most deprived in London.

Holloway ward has a provisional deprivation score of 39.42 which makes it the 3rd
most deprived ward in the borough.

Yellow: no increase or decrease in the total
Green: a decrease in the total
The ward comparison graph shows the ranking for all wards based on the total of all crimes in each
ward.
The ward’s crime levels for offence categories have been included and subsequently ranked
against the other 15 wards, to allow a greater understanding of how each ward compares on the
borough. A ranking of 1 (green) signifies the ward has the lowest offence levels of that particular
crime type on the borough, conversely, a ranking of 16 (red) denotes the ward with the highest.
At the end of this section are a series of graphs showing how offence levels of the main crime
types have varied over the last 34 months (April 2008 to January 2011) and a trend line has been
applied for easy visual representation.
Using the trend and ranking analysis described above, the crime areas showing encouraging
performance and those of concern have been raised for appropriate consideration of action. It
should be noted that the areas highlighted are based on the recent trend and ranking alone and
take no account of any external influences that may have impacted on these crime figures. Further
analysis will need to be conducted to explore any causation factors before any action plans are
devised.
The purpose of highlighting crime areas performing well and those requiring attention is to aid the
ward panel in selecting their priorities for the forthcoming period. The ward profile will be updated
every 6 months with the next publication date being September 2011.

Life expectancy
Shorter lives and preventable deaths
Men and women in Islington live shorter lives than the
England average2007-09. While it is improving, men in
Islington still have the shortest life expectancy in London.
There are also marked inequalities in life expectancy: the
poorest in Islington will live for 6.5 (men) and 4.1
(women) less years than the richest2005-09.
Unlike other deprived areas in London this inequalities
gap has not closed over time.

of these deaths are in residents aged
under 75 years and are considered to be preventable. Ways in which deaths can be prevented include
reducing levels of smoking, obesity and alcohol intake, increasing levels of physical activity and healthy
eating, as well as encouraging people to go for cancer screening, to have the winter ’flu vaccination, and to
go for an NHS Health Check to assess their risk of getting heart disease. In the longer term, deaths will be
prevented by reducing poverty across the borough.

Smoking
Tackling one of the biggest threats to public health
Smoking causes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and heart disease. These are
the big killers and the major causes of ill-health in Holloway.
Smoking also substantially contributes to health inequalities as poorer people tend to smoke more and so will
disproportionately suffer from ill-health and die younger.

NHS Health Checks
Identifying those at ‘high risk’ of developing heart disease
Heart disease is one of the biggest killers in Holloway but many of these deaths could be prevented if people
were diagnosed earlier, supported to reduce their risk of illness (e.g. by stopping smoking or losing some
weight), and given appropriate treatments.
“NHS Health Checks” is a programme that identifies people aged 35-74 years in Islington who are likely to
develop heart disease (because they are overweight, have high blood pressure or smoke, for example). They
are invited by their GP to go for a check up. People can also get checked for free in some local pharmacies
and in community settings. If picked up early, help and support can be given to reduce their risks of
developing heart disease.

High blood pressure
There are a large number of people who are unaware that they are living with high blood pressure because
there are often no symptoms — this is why having an NHS Health Check is important.
All of those identified as being at “high risk” of developing heart disease should have been invited for an NHS
Health Check by their GP practice.
81
people have had a check in a Holloway GP practice.
An estimated
304
more people from these practices need to go for a NHS Health Check to reach all of
those who are at “high risk” of heart disease.

Mental Health
Promoting positive mental health and wellbeing
Mental ill health is very common, affecting about one-in-six adults and one-in-ten children and young people.
Islington has much higher levels of mental ill health than elsewhere because the borough has relatively more
high-need groups, including younger and middle-aged adults. Recent increases in unemployment and
financial hardship will increase levels of stress and mental ill health in the community. This is why promoting
positive mental health and wellbeing is so important at this time.
One intervention which can help those with anxiety and depression is psychological therapy: people can talk
through their problems and seek solutions with a trained professional. There are also borough-wide initiatives
to reduce the stigma and discrimination associated with mental health problems and to improve
understanding of the different conditions and what to do in a crisis.

As the chart above shows, ESA/IB claimants constitute the largest group of workless benefit
claimants. This group presents particular challenges in terms of long-term worklessness: the
majority of Islington IB claimants have been claiming for over five years – around 7,000 of the
total of around 12,000 (August 2010). The Islington count has remained fairly steady at
between 11,000 and 13,000 (8.5-9.5% of the working age population) over the last 10 years.
The chart below shows the duration of Holloway ESA/IB claimants (NOMIS, August 2010):

Jobseekers Allowance
Within the out of work group, Jobseekers Allowance is the claimant count which most closely
tracks ‘unemployment' (i.e. those not in work but available for/looking for work) – although it isn’t
quite as high as unemployment, which includes workless people not claiming benefits.
The JSA count is also more up-to-date than either official unemployment figures or those
available for the overall group above, so is helpful as a guide to short-term trends in the local
labour market.
