Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2006
The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2006 is the Scottish Government’s official tool for identifying concentrations of deprivation in Scotland. SIMD06 is the Scottish Government’s second edition since 2004. 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; and housing. These domains are measured using a number of indicators to form ranks for each domain. Data zones are ranked from 1 being most deprived to 6,505 being least deprived. Each of the seven domain ranks are then combined to form the overall SIMD. This provides a measure of relative deprivation at data zone level, so it tells you that one data zone is relatively more deprived than another but not how much more deprived.

The methodology used to construct the SIMD is based on the approach developed by Oxford University for the Scottish Indices of Deprivation in 2003. The SIMD 2006 follows the SIMD 2004. For the SIMD 2006, there have been several changes to the methodology and data: the most important are the addition of a new public transport sub-domain in the Geographic Access to Services domain and a new Crime domain, which is a collection of selected recorded crimes linked to deprivation. These changes along with full details of the methodology used to construct the SIMD 2006 are available in the technical notes ( http://www.gov.scot/Resource/Doc/151578/0040731.pdf).
