Within a certain area, there can be benefit to ranking the LSOAs according to the national IMD rank, and then re-applying local IMD deciles such that each area contains all deciles from 1-10 in an even distribution.

For example, using national IMD the Black Country is skewed towards lower deciles:

While Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Berkshire is skewed towards higher deciles.

Recalculating a local IMD enables the detail within each area to be more clearly seen.
