Leeds Census 2021: We speak to residents in the most and least deprived areas of the city

The five most deprived areas of the city were Harehills South, Cross Flatts Park and Garnets, Burmantofts, Seacroft North and Monkswood, and Belle Isle North. All of the most deprived areas in Leeds have become less deprived than in 2011.

The census classifies households in terms of four different dimensions of deprivation, including whether a household member is unemployed or long-term sick, or households where no person has more than five GCSEs.

By contrast, the neighbourhood with the lowest level of deprivation is Horsforth South and Rawdon, followed by Collingham, Rigton and Harewood, Guiseley North and West, Chapel Allerton and Far Headingley and Weetwood.

In the video above, we speak to locals living in the most and least deprived areas of the city, to find out what they make of the statistics.
