The term 'left behind' has come to connote political disaffection, alongside social and spatial inequalities in wealth and opportunity. Yet the term is also widely contested, often prioritising a regional and economic perspective at the expense of a more local and nuanced approach. In response, we argue that neighbourhood context is integral to understanding and identifying 'left behind' places. Building a neighbourhood classification of 'left behindness' for England, we evaluate the extent to which the neighbourhood trajectory contributes to our understanding of a range of multidimensional individual-level outcomes. Our findings reveal a geography of neighbourhoods that are systematically disadvantaged over time, concentrated in major urban conurbations, and post-industrial and coastal towns. The magnitude and impact is highlighted through poorer economic, health, social and political outcomes for those living in 'left behind' areas
