  21. Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2009Lifelong Learning Statistics: Users’ ConferenceAndrew WhiteSmall Area Statistics26th March 2010

  22. A quick run through of… What is SIMD 2009? Some points to watch Headline findings Where to find more

  23. 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. Uses include Allocation of funding (e.g. Fairer Scotland Fund) Targeting of resources by Local Authorities

  24. SIMD 2009 Update to SIMD 2006 (and SIMD 2004) 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

  25. SIMD domains SIMD 2009 domains Income 28% Employment 28% Health 14% Education, skills & training 14% Geographic access to services 9% Crime 5% Housing 2% Datazones are ranked in each domain and the domains are combined using the weightings shown.

  26. Education, Skills & Training Domain Indicators School pupil absences - (24%) Pupil Performance on SQA at Stage 4 - (25%) Working age people with no qualifications - (26%) 17-21 year olds enrolling into HE - (15%) People ages 16-19 not in education, employment or training - (9%) NEET indicator change for 2009 Populations relevant to indicator Combined using factor analysis

  27. 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 e.g. in the income domain there is a lack of benefit claimants. 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.

  28. Headline findings Improvements in Glasgow

  29. Change in Glasgow

  30. Headline findings Improvements in Glasgow Concentrations of multiple deprivation becoming more spread out geographically Concentrations of deprivation in most deprived datazones reduced slightly 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

  31. Most deprived datazone in Scotland S01003279 East end of Glasgow. Ranked 62 in SIMD 2006 DZ ranked 1 in SIMD 2006 now ranked 2
