Footnotes

1. The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) shows where Scotland’s most deprived areas are; it is a relative measure of deprivation across small areas in Scotland. It looks at multiple deprivation. ‘Deprived’ does not just mean ‘poor’ or ‘low income’. It can also mean people have fewer resources and opportunities, for example in health and education. More information on SIMD can be found here https://www2.gov.scot/Resource/0050/00504809.pdf.

ABC1 is a combination of the highest three socio-economic groups. C2DE is a combination of the lowest three socio-economic groups.
