SIMD 2009 Update to SIMD 2006 (and SIMD 2004) Mostly 2007 / 2008 data 38 indicators (statistics) across 7 aspects of deprivation (domains) Same domains as in SIMD 2006 Some changes to indicators

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. 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.

How to find out more – Using the SIMD website

Quintile: splits SIMD into 5 groups each containing 20% of datazones (about 1,301 in each). Quintile 1 = 20% most deprived Decile: splits SIMD into 10 groups each containing 10% of datazones (about 651 in each) Decile 1 = 10% most deprived Vigintile: splits SIMD into 20 groups each containing 5% of datazones (about 325 in each). Vigintile 1 = 5% most deprived

Interactive mapping exercise Find datazone S using the interactive mapping –Where is it? –What is its rank? –What % of its population were income deprived? Now find the datazone containing the postcode PH1 5BE –What datazone is this? –What domains contribute most to it being in the 15% most deprived? Find datazone S –Is it in the 15% most deprived? –Are any of its individual domains? Which one(s)? –Using SNS standard reporter what can you find out about why it might perform poorly in this domain?
