Does social deprivation and poverty correlate? In my experience they have an inverse correlation: those in poverty being more likely to engage with others.
Apparently “social deprivation” does not mean “lonely,” it just means poor. It actually includes “overcrowding” as a measure of deprivation, so opposite of lonely.
To measure the deprivation of an area they primarily used the well-established Townsend Deprivation Index. The Townsend Deprivation Index measures deprivation using practical indicators like unemployment, overcrowding, and home or car ownership to measure material deprivation of different areas.
I feel like this just another one of those: “hey look also this bad thing correlates with poverty” type of studies.

What a stange term to use. Cause social I definitely also thought social deprivation was refering to isolation.
Weird wording on their part.
