Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2009 Glasgow City Council Matt Perkins Office of the Chief Statistician 6 th November 2009

Methodology / points to watch Results Overall LA (Local and National Share) Income and Employment domains Outputs SIMD 2009

What is the SIMD? The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation identifies small area concentrations of multiple deprivation across all of Scotland The SIMD ranks the 6,505 datazones in Scotland from 1 being most deprived to 6,505 being the least deprived in Scotland. Relative measure so always a most deprived 15% (976 datazones)

Calculating the SIMD 2009 Minimise change since SIMD 2006 to ensure comparability 38 indicators across 7 aspects of deprivation (domains) Same domains in SIMD 2009 No change to domain weights Some changes to indicators Mostly 2007 / 2008 data 2007 populations

What is included in the SIMD 2009? Income domain – including tax credits Employment domain – no change Education domain – NEET indicator Health domain – very minor changes Access domain – methodology changes Crime domain – move to FY data Housing domain – still Census data

Points to watch Data from 2007 and 2008 means the recent economic downturn not picked up but it is unlikely to have a large effect on the relative differences across Scotland. Changes to methodology so care is needed when comparing over time eg crime domain, tax credit data. The least deprived area is not the most affluent, it just lacks deprivation eg in the income domain there is a lack of benefit claimants Not all people who are deprived live in deprived areas. And not everyone living in a deprived area is deprived. 36% of income deprived people live in the 15% most deprived areas 64% live out with 15% most deprived.
