Whilst two fifths of the population live in areas that are in the best of 20% in England, eight areas of the city are in the most deprived 20%. They are home to around 13,000 people, just under 7%, of York’s population. In these areas, and for those with low incomes but living in other parts of the city, there are the tell-tale signs of deprivation: shorter life expectancy, higher crime, less material wealth and often a poverty of opportunity and aspiration.
