Understanding Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics and the Index of Multiple Deprivation

Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics (SNS) is a key program of the Scottish Government aimed at enhancing the availability and accessibility of small area statistics. By providing over 2,800 indicators, it supports efforts to improve the quality of life for residents, particularly in disadvantaged areas. The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), first published in 2004, evaluates 6,505 areas based on various deprivation factors, including income and housing. SNS also offers interactive mapping tools for users to explore data by geography and themes.
