3. 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 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)

4. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd What are datazones? Statistical geography Fixed boundaries over time 6,505 datazones in Scotland Average population of 750 people

5. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd 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

6. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Employment domain Income domain Health domain Education domain Access to services Crime domain Housing domain SIMD 2009 domains

7. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Employment Deprivation Domain Based on benefits data (2008) –Unemployment Claimant Count 12 month average –Incapacity Benefit recipients Working age –Severe Disablement Allowance Working age –Compulsory New Deal Participants No change to 2004 indicators for 2006 or 2009 Datazone SAPE –Working age population

8. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Income Deprivation Domain Not measuring income Based on benefits data (2008 and 2007) –Income support adults and children –Guarantee Pension Credit adults –Job Seekers Allowance adults and children 2004 used WFTC and DTC data 2009 – WTC and CTC (2006 data) Datazone SAPE –Total population

9. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Health Deprivation Domain Indicators used: –Standardised Mortality Ratio –Hospital Episodes related to alcohol use –Hospital Episodes related to drug use –Comparative Illness Factor –Emergency Admissions to Hospital –Proportion of population being prescribed drugs for anxiety, depression or psychosis –Proportion of live singleton births of low birth weight Methodological changes since 2004 Minor changes for 2009 Combined using factor analysis

10. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Education Deprivation Domain Indicators –School pupil absences –Pupil Performance on SQA at Stage 4 –Working age people with no qualifications –17-21 year olds enrolling into HE –People ages 16-18 not in full time education, employment or training NEET indicator change for 2009 Populations relevant to indicator Combined using factor analysis

11. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Access to Services Domain Drive Times –GP –Shopping facilities (Supermarket in 2004) –Petrol Station –Primary and Secondary Schools (Primary only in 2004) –Post Office Public Transport (Not included in SIMD 2004) –GP –Shopping Facilities –Post Office Population weighted based on COAs Factor analysis within sub-domains Methodology and modelling changes Change to sub-domain weights.

12. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Crime Domain Relevant to Neighbourhood Deprivation ‘SIMD crime’ not ‘Total Crime’ –Crimes of violence –Drug Offences –Domestic Housebreaking –Minor Assault –Vandalism Does not include crimes in/near police station First included in 2006 Total populations – rate per 10,000 Move to financial year for SIMD 2009

15. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd 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. There will always be a 15% most deprived – if a datazone moves out another will move in. The Index is relative ie shows an area is more or less deprived than another one but not how much more deprived. Use Income and Employment domains and the indicators. 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

16. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Points to watch No datazones in the 15% most deprived does not mean no deprivation, just no concentrations of multiple deprivation Not all people who are deprived live in deprived areas. The index measures concentrations of deprivation 36% of income deprived people live in the 15% most deprived areas 64% live out with 15% most deprived. Index does work in rural areas just fewer concentrations of multiple deprivation and more mixed populations.
