Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2004
The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2004 is the Scottish Government’s official tool for identifying concentrations of deprivation in Scotland. SIMD04 is the Scottish Government’s first edition. 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 (SID) in 2003. The SIMD 2004 is the first SIMD following the SID in 2003, implementing the recommendation of Oxford University to develop a long term indicator of deprivation. There have been significant changes between the SID 2003 and SIMD 2004, most critically the change of reporting level to the newly developed Data Zone geography. These changes along with full details of the methodology used to construct the SIMD 2004 are available in the technical notes (http://www.gov.scot/Resource/Doc/47251/0027011.pdf).
