Material deprivation speaks to socio-economic privilege (or lack thereof) in the areas of housing, education, income and employment. It takes into account a number of different factors, including: the proportion of the population aged 25 to 64 without a high-school diploma; the unemployment rate; the proportion of homes needing major repairs; the unemployment rate of private households with children under 6 years old; and, crowding, or the average number of persons per room.
