The impact of deprivation on the distribution of museums

This weeks data comes from the Mapping Museums Project. They have gathered, cleansed and codified data relating to over 4000 UK Museums. They have also included some demographic information relating to the location of the museum - for example the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). IMD measures the relative deprivation of geographic areas in the UK, aggregating different dimensions (income, employment, education, health, crime, housing, and living environment). The index ranges from 1 (most deprived) to 10 (least deprived).
