The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) provides a relative ranking of the Data Zones in Scotland from 1 (most deprived) to 6505 (least deprived) based on a weighted combination of data in the domains of Income, Housing, Health, Education, Skills and Training, Employment, Geographic Access to Services, and Crime (no Crime data available for SIMD 2004). Each of the domains can also be ranked individually. Using the relative rankings each data zone can be assigned to a decile for each domain and the overall index. Decile 1 is the most deprived 10% of Data Zones and decile 10 is the least deprived 10% of Data Zones. When comparing results from the different versions of the SIMD it is important to take into account changes to the methodology used to construct the individual domains and the overall SIMD between the three indices. More information can be found onthe Scottish Government website . You can also view a map of SIMD.

SIMD is one of four indices that cover the whole of the UK. The Scottish index differs from the other indices in the UK by following a slightly different methodology in constructing the overall index. The following are the key differences: * SIMD is based on data zones which are smaller geographical units compared to the Lower Super Output Areas used in the other indices * The data sources are different for Health, Education, Crime and Housing domains
Frequently asked questions, including how to use SIMD, are published on the Scottish Government website.
The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) combines seven different domains (aspects) of deprivation: * Income * Employment * Health * Education, Skills and Training * Geographic Access to Services * Crime * Housing
This dataset is not expected to be updated.
This slice of multidimensional data is not a Linked Data resource in the database: it's a virtual resource (i.e. you can't query it by SPARQL). But does have a permanent unique URL which can be bookmarked.
