Abstract
⺠We developed an approach for measuring health-related physical environmental deprivation. ⺠A neighbourhood index of multiple environmental deprivation was created for New Zealand. ⺠The index included measures of both pathogenic and salutogenic characteristics. ⺠Socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods had higher levels of multiple environmental deprivation. ⺠Multiple environmental deprivation was associated with health outcomes.
