Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD ) Overall 2004-2012, Glasgow

The 694 data zones in Glasgow ranked in 2012, 2009, 2006 and 2004 for overall deprivation covering the combined domains: income; employment; health; education; housing; access and crime. Each data zone also has a local ranking i.e. within Glasgow to ease comparison for that data zone over time and within the city.

Intermediate Geographies and political geographies such as the 2011 Scottish Parliamentary Constituencies, multi-member wards are also included.

Datazones nest directly into intermediate geographies and local authorities but do not fit exactly into higher geographies like multi-member wards, [SIMD FAQ]( http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/SIMD/FAQUsingSIMD)

[The Scottish Government] (http://simd.scotland.gov.uk/publication-2012/)
describes this index as follows, "The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation identifies small area concentrations of multiple deprivation across all of Scotland in a consistent way. It allows effective targeting of policies and funding where the aim is to wholly or partly tackle or take account of area concentrations of multiple deprivation.

The SIMD ranks small areas (called data zones) from most deprived (ranked 1) to least deprived (ranked 6,505). People using the 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."
