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. 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.

4. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd What are datazones? Statistical geography Criteria – Population size – Existing boundaries – Compactness of shape 6,505 datazones in Scotland; –267 in Aberdeen City –301 in Aberdeenshire –116 in Moray Average population of 750 people

5. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd History of SIMD Scottish Indices of Deprivation (SID) 2003 –produced by Oxford University – used electoral ward geography SIMD 2004 –Produced by Scottish Executive –31 indicators across 6 ‘domains’ –used datazone geography SIMD 2006 –Update to SIMD 2004 –37 indicators across 7 domains

6. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd SIMD 2009 Update to SIMD 2006 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

7. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd What is in the SIMD 2009? (1) Domains based on counts of people –Income domain % of population income deprived Now includes tax credit data –Employment domain % of population employment deprived No change from 2004 or 2006 –Crime domain SIMD crimes – not all crimes –Housing domain Still using 2001 census data

8. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Domains constructed using ‘factor analysis’ –Education domain Now includes a NEET indicator –Health domain Very minor changes since SIMD 2006 –Access domain Drive time sub-domain (2/3) Public transport sub-domain (1/3) Changes since SIMD 2006 - changed computer model What is in the SIMD 2009? (2)

9. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd How is the SIMD constructed? Combine the rankings in each domain using the weightings: –Income 28% –Employment 28% –Health 14% –Education 14% –Access 9% –Crime 5% –Housing 2%

10. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Points to watch The Index is relative i.e. shows an area is more or less deprived than another one but not how much more or less deprived. There will always be 976 datazones in the 15% most deprived – if a datazone moves out another will move in. 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, and not all deprived people live in the most deprived areas.

11. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd More 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 e.g. crime domain, tax credit data. Index identifies deprived datazones in both urban and rural areas - just fewer concentrations of multiple deprivation and more mixed populations. Local knowledge is invaluable when interpreting the results of the SIMD.

13. www.scotland.gov.uk/simd Change in Glasgow

14. 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 101 datazones moved into 15% MD and 101 moved out - Movement between 10-15% and 15-20% bands. 4 in 5 datazones that moved out between 04 and 06 stayed out. 4 in 5 datazones in 15% in SIMD 09 have been in on both SIMD 04 and SIMD 06
