These areas are mostly represented by Labour MPs, with a few Conservative MPs representing parts of Leeds (with a Lib Dem MP) and North East Lincolnshire, and all of Scarborough. Apart from Scarborough, they are unitary authorities.

The least deprived districts are, in descending order – Harrogate, Hambleton, Richmondshire, Craven, and Selby – all in North Yorkshire. Like all of North Yorkshire, they are represented by Conservative MPs, aside from Selby which elected a Labour MP at the [[2023 Selby and Ainsty by-election]]. At county level, the least deprived areas are, in descending order – North Yorkshire, York and the East Riding of Yorkshire which all have roughly the same level of deprivation, and lower than the majority of England, including [[Cheshire]] and [[Northamptonshire]].

The region as a whole is one of the more deprived in England, measured by having far more [[Super Output Areas|Lower Layer Super Output Areas]] (LSOAs) in the 20% most deprived districts than the 20% least deprived districts.
