Local Authority level analysis and other geographies in Scotland:
The persistent poverty figures presented here are from a sample survey which limits the analysis possible at smaller geographical areas. Similarly the main poverty statistics for Scotland published in Poverty and Income Inequality in Scotland are only available at Scotland level. A few analyses are published for areas below Scotland level ( e.g. poverty in rural and urban areas), however it is not possible to produce reliable estimates at Local Authority level from this source.
Information on poverty at Local Authority level is available
from alternative sources although none of these over persistent
poverty. These can be found at:
