The rate of material deprivation stood at 6.4% for people living in Iceland in 2013. The proportion of people deprived of material goods fell sharply between 2007 and 2008, at the height of the economic bubble, from 7.4% to 2.5% but rose again though it never exceeded the deprivation levels of 2004-2007. Iceland had the 6th lowest rate of material deprivation in 2012.
