Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2012
The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2012 is the Scottish Government’s official tool for identifying concentrations of deprivation in Scotland. SIMD12 is the Scottish Government’s fourth 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. Since that publication, the Scottish Government have published indices of multiple deprivation in 2004, 2006 and 2009. For the SIMD 2012, there have been minor changes to the indicators included in the Index to reflect welfare reform and changes to the female state pension age. These changes along with full details of the methodology used to construct the SIMD 2012 are available in the technical notes ( http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/SIMD/AccessMethodologyPaper).
