multiple deprivation

SIMD domains• SIMD 2009 domains

– Income

datazones

What are datazones?

• Statistical geography

• Average population of 750 people

• 6,505 datazones in Scotland

• No names, but codes like S01000001

• Analysis often focuses on the 15% most deprived. There are 976 datazones in the 15% most deprived (and 651 in the 10%).

• SIMD is one measure of deprivation, it is not the only one.

SIMD 2009• Update to SIMD 2006 (and SIMD 2004)

• 38 indicators across 7 aspects of deprivation (domains)

• Same domains as in SIMD 2006

• Some changes to indicators

• Mostly 2007 / 2008 data

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.

Headline findings• Improvements in Glasgow

Change in Glasgow

Headline findings

• Improvements in Glasgow• However, around 31% of the 15% most deprived

datazones in Scotland are in Glasgow.

SIMD 2009 – National Share (part 1)

*The national share is the number/percentage of datazones in the (e.g.)15% most deprived in Scotland that fall in each Local Authority

Headline findings

datazones in Scotland are in Glasgow.• Which means 43% of Glasgow’s datazones are

in the 15% most deprived

SIMD 2009 – Local Share (part 1)

*The local share is the percentage of datazones within a Local Authority that fall within the (e.g.) 15% most deprived in Scotland

Headline findings

in the 15% most deprived

• 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

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
