Table 6. Life Expectancy at Birth in Barnsley compared to Yorkshire and Humber and

Life expectancy relates to the average number of years a person would live, at a

particular age, if he or she experienced the particular area’s age-specific mortality

rates for that time period throughout his or her life. “Life expectancy at birth has

been used… to illustrate the differences in mortality experienced by populations in

different parts of the country.” (ONS, 2015).

Barnsley has consistently remained lower than both Yorkshire and Humber and

England at each time point for both men and women (see Table 6).

Life expectancy for men has increased by 0.6 years since 2010-2012 and by 0.3

years for women during the same period.

The gap in life expectancy between Barnsley and England has decreased by 0.3

years for men and 0.1 years for women, when comparing 2010-2012 rates to 2012-

2014.

Expectancy Briefing.

Deprivation

The Indices of Multiple Deprivation, commonly known as the IMD, is the official measure of relative

deprivation for small areas in England. The Index ranks every small area called Lower-layer Super

Output Areas (LSOAs) in England (each area represents approximately 650 households or 1,500

people) from 1 (most deprived area) to 32,844 (least deprived area).

Barnsley is relatively deprived in Education, Skills & Training, Employment, Health & Disability and

Income but relatively less deprived for Living Environment and Barriers to Housing & Services compared

to the other local authorities in England.

The domain scores are then combined using weighting to create the overall score of deprivation for the

LSOA. Local Authority Rank of Average Score

2010 2015 Change

Barnsley 47 39

Doncaster 39 42

Comparative to the other local authorities of

South Yorkshire, Barnsley is the most

deprived based on the rank of average score.
