This dataset is published as Open Data and is a like-for-like extract from the Scottish Government's publication, filtered to the 121 datazones within the Stirling Council area, with the addition of SAPE 2021 figures. We have published other SIMD datasets, maps, and applications also available as Open Data.The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation is a relative measure of deprivation across 6,976 small areas (called data zones). If an area is identified as ‘deprived’, this can relate to people having a low income but it can also mean fewer resources or opportunities. 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. It can help improve understanding about the outcomes and circumstances of people living in the most deprived areas in Scotland. It can also allow effective targeting of policies and funding where the aim is to wholly or partly tackle or take account of area concentrations of multiple deprivation.SIMD ranks data zones from most deprived (ranked 1) to least deprived (ranked 6,976). People using SIMD will often focus on the data zones below a certain rank, for example, the 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% most deprived data zones in Scotland.SIMD is an area-based measure of relative deprivation: not every person in a highly deprived area will themselves be experiencing high levels of deprivation.Data zones in rural areas tend to cover a large land area and reflect a more mixed picture of people experiencing different levels of deprivation. This means that SIMD is less helpful at identifying the smaller pockets of deprivation found in more rural areas, compared to the larger pockets found in urban areas. SIMD domain indicators can still be useful in rural areas if analysed separately from urban data zones or combined with other data.Please note that the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2020 has been revised as a result of a problem identified with the income domain ranks provided by the Department for Work and Pensions. This revision only affects the income domain ranks and overall SIMD ranks (referred to as SIMD 2020v2). The impact is minimal for the majority of data zones, and the remainder of the SIMD 2020 is not affected. SIMD 2020v2 ranks should now be used when carrying out any analyses.https://www.gov.scot/collections/scottish-index-of-multiple-deprivation-2020/

This map is published as Open Data, is the most recent, and replaces any previously published dataset.Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, Small Area Population Estimates, and Child Poverty The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2020 is the Scottish Government’s official tool for identifying those places in Scotland suffering from deprivation. It incorporates several different aspects of deprivation (employment, income, health, education, skills and training, geographic access, crime and housing), combining them into a single index.The 2020 Index provides a relative ranking for small areas in Scotland, defined by the Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics (SNS) Data Zone 2011 geography, from 1 (most deprived) to 6,976 (least deprived). By identifying small areas where there are concentrations of multiple deprivation, the SIMD can be used to target policies and resources at the places with greatest need. The SIMD also provides a rank for each data zone within each of the seven domains, and therefore it is possible to look at individual aspects of deprivation for each area, as well as the overall level of deprivation.National Records of Scotland Small Area Population Estimates (2021)Child Poverty by Datazone (2022/23)This map is created from the following:dataset: Contentand used in app: App

THIS IS THE LATEST VERSION

Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2020 rankings, with the two Output Zones relevant to OAL-UK highlighted (S01006819 and S01006817). SIMD compiles statistics on population, working age population, income, employment, health, education, housing, access and crime and displays the information as deciles. 1st Decile SIMD rank = top 10% most deprived areas in Scotland; 10th Decile SIMD rank = top 10% least deprived areas in Scotland. OAL-UK is in an area of low deprivation with rankings in all categories being 7/8/9/10th Decile with the exception of "Access" for which OAL-UK is 1st Decile due to its rurality. The Scottish Government provides SIMD data in map format at https://simd.scot/#/simd2020/BTTTFTT/9/-4.0000/55.9000/
