Footnotes

1 The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation is a relative measure of deprivation across 6,976 small areas (called data zones). SIMD looks at the extent to which an area is deprived across seven domains: income, employment, education, health, access to services, crime and housing.

SIMD is the Scottish Government's standard approach to identify areas of multiple deprivation in Scotland. SIMD ranks data zones from most deprived (ranked 1) to least deprived (ranked 6,976). (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2020).
