Deprivation

Poverty and deprivation aren’t just economic issues – they limit opportunities and prospects for children and young people, damage quality of life for families and harm long-term health and life expectancy. In this area you will find key statistics relating to poverty and deprivation in Cumbria.

To view these key statistics for Cumbria’s unitary council areas, former county and districts, wards, LSOAs and other smaller local geographies (i.e. Cumberland Community Panel areas and Westmorland and Furness Locality Board areas) please click on the ‘Maps’ and ‘Profiles’ options above.
