  1. Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2004 andScottish Neighbourhood StatisticsRobert Williams

  2. Hope to cover today • Background to SIMD • Results • Can and can’t do • General Scottish Executive Uses • Introduction to SNS

  3. Defining deprivation… • Deprivation “focuses on the lack of goods, services or social relations or inadequate physical or social environment which results from a lack of financial resources” • It is a relative measure where standards are defined in relation to social norms or expectations

  4. SIMD Background • Long-Term Strategy- 2003 interim index developed by Oxford University- consultation by Scottish Centre for Research on Social Justice • Commitment to using better data, better geography and providing regular updates • Results in construction of an improved index over the next ten years

  5. SIMD 2004 • Well respected methodology developed by Oxford University • 6 domains • Current Income, Employment, Health, Education, Access, Housing • 31 separate indicators

  6. SIMD 2004 • New data zone geography • Splits Scotland into 6505 small areas • Ranking of small areas for each domain and by overall multiple measure • Identifies pockets of deprivation

  7. Local Authority share of most deprived 15% of data zones across Scotland

  8. Deprivation within a Local Authority

  9. Most Deprived 5% of data zones Most Deprived 15% of data zones

  10. Edinburgh City

  11. Glasgow City

  12. Uses of SIMD 2004 • SE’s official measure of area based multiple deprivation • Identify Scotland’s most deprived areas • Support funding allocations or bids • Look at emerging problems

  13. Uses of SIMD 2004 • Help SE measure progress on a range of Closing the Opportunity Gap and portfolio targets on deprived areas • ‘To promote community regeneration of the most deprived neighbourhoods, through improvements by 2008 in employability, education, health, access to local services, and quality of the local environment.’ • Community Regeneration Fund

  14. Community Regeneration Fund • £318m over 3 years (2005/2006 - 2007/2008) • Two thirds allocated to the most deprived 15% of data zones • Remaining third allocated to CPPs with above average (>15%) concentrations of deprivation • Transitional arrangements

  15. Regeneration Outcome Agreement • Guidance issued 12 August • 80% of CRF funding targeted at the most deprived geographical communities • Up to 20% on thematic or group basis • Flexibility if strong case • Expect strong correlation with SIMD areas

  16. What the indices don’t do Relative measure so don’t do: • Absolute difference between areas • Comparisons over time • BUT SIMD indicators and SNS can be used • Not a measure of ‘Most affluent’ • Not all living in deprived areas are deprived

  17. Long term strategy • Developing existing domains • Developing new domains • Crime • Physical Environment • Other Financial Resources • Social Relations & Capital

  18. Next SIMD • SIMD 2006 • Data zone population estimates from GROS • New and developed domains? • Data for housing domain? • Explaining change: SIMD 2004 and 2006

  19. Introduction to SNS • Programme to improve small area statistics • 2001 Onwards • Data supports a number of the SE’s commitments • Those with small area emphasis – Closing the Opportunity Gap – Area deprivation: SIMD • Access to Central Government information will improve policy development at a local level

  20. Deprivation Population Housing Education Health Community care Labour market Benefits Access Physical Environment SNS Data Development Data zone is the key geography

  21. Access to SNS • Freely available over Internet • SNS Data Download CD • SNS Geography CD

  22. SNS Statistical Analysis • SNS Tabular outputs • SNS Thematic mapping outputs • Analysis based on SNS and SIMD

  23. Edinburgh North and Leith: View data in tabular format

  24. View data in thematic map format: Percentage of the population on key income benefits and credits

  25. Average tariff score of pupils on the S4 roll

  26. Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2004 : Decile
