Deprivation
A civil parish in Dorset — Charminster, E04003519. Every figure below describes that area, except where it is labelled as a comparison, or as a figure for a neighbourhood or a wider area.
Charminster covers two neighbourhoods, one of them shared. None of the two neighbourhoods is in the most deprived 10% in England; none are in the more deprived half. A rank describes a neighbourhood, not a rank for the parish.
Charminster covers two neighbourhoods
Index of Multiple Deprivation 2025. Rank 1 is the most deprived neighbourhood in England.
On Barriers to Housing and Services, one of the two neighbourhoods is in the most deprived 10% in England: Around Cerne Abbas (rank 2,238).
Hollow rings mark neighbourhoods shared with areas beyond Charminster: Around Cerne Abbas. Their ranks describe the whole neighbourhoods.
Names beginning “Around” are generated descriptions. Locality names use OS map display priority, then estimated resident totals assigned to the nearest locality from each output area’s representative point. Road names use road length weighted by output-area resident density. These estimates do not locate individual residents or establish recognised neighbourhood names.

Neighbourhood deprivation table
Deprivation, by neighbourhood
Names beginning “Around” are generated descriptions. Locality names use OS map display priority, then estimated resident totals assigned to the nearest locality from each output area’s representative point. Road names use road length weighted by output-area resident density. These estimates do not locate individual residents or establish recognised neighbourhood names.
The Indices of Deprivation are published for Lower Layer Super Output Areas, which ONS designs to hold between 1,000 and 3,000 people. 2 of them cover Charminster, of which Charminster holds 1 outright. The one held outright describes part of Charminster rather than somewhere wider.
There is no single figure for Charminster, and there cannot be. A rank says where one neighbourhood sits among those ranked in England. Ranks cannot be added or averaged into a rank for the place. Each neighbourhood is shown as published.
The remaining area reaches beyond Charminster and is marked below. Its figures describe the whole neighbourhood, including the part that is not Charminster, and the header says how many of its residents are here. Where that share is small, the figure is mostly about somewhere else.
