Spatial Analysis to deprive family of the field (economic and health) in Baiji city for 2024.

Abstract

       The deprivation index is a tool used to measure the proportion of households or population living within specific geographic boundaries that experience conditions indicative of a low standard of living. Within this framework، the study focused on economic deprivation in Baiji City.

The findings revealed clear disparities in household deprivation levels across the city's neighborhoods. Specifically، 36% of Baiji's neighborhoods were found to have households deprived across all four economic dimensions and their eight respective indicators. Meanwhile، 40% of the neighborhoods were considered economically self-sufficient، and 24% of neighborhoods had households assessed as economically better off.

 However، the relative distribution of neighborhoods does not accurately reflect the actual deprivation levels of households، as neighborhoods vary in both household count and average family size. For instance، five neighborhoods، representing one-third of the city's total neighborhoods، are home to 10,167 households، which constitute 45% of the city’s total of 23,678 households.
