On Employment, one of the 20 neighbourhoods is in the most deprived 10% in England: Around Somerford (rank 2,669).

Hollow rings mark neighbourhoods shared with areas beyond Christchurch: Around Hurn. 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

The Indices of Deprivation are published for Lower Layer Super Output Areas, which ONS designs to hold between 1,000 and 3,000 people. 20 of them cover Christchurch, of which Christchurch holds 19 outright. The 19 held outright describe parts of Christchurch rather than somewhere wider.

There is no single figure for Christchurch, 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 Christchurch and is marked below. Its figures describe the whole neighbourhood, including the part that is not Christchurch, and the header says how many of its residents are here. Where that share is small, the figure is mostly about somewhere else.

Indices of Deprivation ranks for each Lower Layer Super Output Area that covers part of Christchurch. Each describes one neighbourhood, and they cannot be combined into a figure for Christchurch.
