Description

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is a tool for identifying the places in Scotland where people are experiencing disadvantage across different aspects of their lives. SIMD ranks 6,976 small areas, or data zones, covering the whole of Scotland from the most deprived to the least deprived and reports statistics on income, employment, health, education, access to services, crime and housing. This dataset contains indicators used to calculate SIMD 2016 and SIMD 2020 health domains, including:

  • Standardised Mortality Ratio
  • Hospital stays related to alcohol misuse: standardised ratio
  • Hospital stays related to drug misuse: standardised ratio
  • Comparative illness factor: standardised ratio
  • Emergency stays in hospital: standardised ratio
  • Proportion of population being prescribed drugs for anxiety, depression or psychosis
  • Proportion of live singleton births of low birth weight

Relevance

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation is used to help organisations invest in areas most in need. It can also be used by communities to highlight the things that matter to them, and identify opportunities to improve the lives of local people.

The SIMD 2020 introductory booklet provides an overview of SIMD and an example case study showing how SIMD has been used to identify deprivation and help inform a rural local authority’s poverty strategy.
Timeliness and Punctuality
