An updated constituency/deprivation chart for England for the 2019 general election - looks quite different to before. See following tweets for comparison with 2017 and 2001 #ge2019 #ge2019data
@BrownPhilip here are the 2017 and 2001 versions of the same chart, side by side (2001 on the right stands out visually as proper red wall stuff)
@BrownPhilip and here's a quick and dirty gif comparing 2001, 2017 and 2019 (2 seconds per frame)
@BrownPhilip and note these bits from my piece on the earlier versions of this graphic citymetric.com/politics/i-ran…
just need to add that what we refer to in the UK as 'deprivation' is similar to what others might call disadvantage or similar - so in US context, for example, areas on the left of the chart would be perhaps rust belt towns, parts of Appalachia, Mississippi and so on
the so-called red wall in 2001 was interrupted by just a single orange block, quite striking from today's vantage point
