Norwich Reducing Inequality Target Areas (RITAs) – analysis of indicators
Norwich City Council commissioned NODA to provide an overarching analysis of deprivation across the local areas of Norwich through combining a range of datasets covering a number of broad themes. These datasets were standardised and merged into a single metric utilising the statistical tool known as “Z scores”. This could help inform more targeted interventions within the local areas of Norwich. NODA has completed subsequent commissioned projects based on this analysis for other partner organisations.
