A quick run through of…
• What is SIMD 2009?
• Some points to watch
• Headline findings
• Where to find more
www.scotland.gov.uk/simd
What is the SIMD?• The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation identifies small
area concentrations of multiple deprivation across all of Scotland.
• Relative measure ranking the 6,505 datazones in Scotland from 1 being most deprived to 6,505 being the least deprived.
• SIMD is one measure of deprivation, it is not the only one.
• Uses include– Allocation of funding (e.g. Fairer Scotland Fund)– Targeting of resources by Local Authorities
www.scotland.gov.uk/simd
SIMD 2009• Update to SIMD 2006 (and SIMD 2004)
• Minimise change since SIMD 2006 to ensure comparability
• 38 indicators across 7 aspects of deprivation (domains)
• Same domains as in SIMD 2006
• Some changes to indicators
• Mostly 2007 / 2008 data
www.scotland.gov.uk/simd
SIMD domains• SIMD 2009 domains
– Income 28%– Employment 28%– Health 14%– Education, skills & training 14%– Geographic access to services 9%– Crime 5%– Housing 2%
• Datazones are ranked in each domain and the domains are combined using the weightings shown.
www.scotland.gov.uk/simd
Education, Skills & Training Domain• Indicators
– School pupil absences - (24%)– Pupil Performance on SQA at Stage 4 - (25%)– Working age people with no qualifications - (26%)– 17-21 year olds enrolling into HE - (15%)– People ages 16-19 not in education, employment or
training - (9%)
• NEET indicator change for 2009• Populations relevant to indicator• Combined using factor analysis
www.scotland.gov.uk/simd
Things you should know…
• The Index is relative i.e. it shows whether an area is more or less deprived than another one but not how much more or less deprived.
• The least deprived area is not the most affluent, it just lacks deprivation e.g. in the income domain there is a lack of benefit claimants.
• Not everyone living in a deprived area is deprived. Nor do all deprived people live in the most deprived areas.
• There will always be 976 datazones in the 15% most deprived – if a datazone moves out another will move in.
www.scotland.gov.uk/simd
Headline findings• Improvements in Glasgow
• Concentrations of multiple deprivation becoming more spread out geographically
• Concentrations of deprivation in most deprived datazones reduced slightly
• 4 in 5 datazones that moved out of 15% most deprived between 04 and 06 stayed out.
• 4 in 5 datazones in most deprived 15% in SIMD 09 have been in on both SIMD 04 and SIMD 06
www.scotland.gov.uk/simd
Most deprived datazone in Scotland
• S01003279
• East end of Glasgow.
• Ranked 62 in SIMD 2006
• DZ ranked 1 in SIMD 2006 now ranked 2
