Briefing Note – Scottish Index of Multiple

Deprivation, 2020

Strategy and Insight

City of Edinburgh Council

9 March 2020

Background

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is one of the key tools for identifying

concentrations of deprivation in Scotland. The 2020 SIMD is the latest iteration of the dataset,

which is updated approximately every three to four years.

Since its creation, SIMD has been widely used by Scottish Government and public sector

bodies to allocate resources to areas of particular need. Within a council context, the data is

an important resource and toolkit to support the development of strategies and service plans.

While the dataset has some clear limitations, as explained below, it is well-respected and

referenced by community organisations and the media. In 2011, the UK Statistics Authority

designated SIMD as National Statistics.

This briefing gives an overview of the SIMD 2020 data at a citywide, locality and ward level.

1. Further information can be found on the Scottish Government website.

2. A breakdown of Locality by Ward and areas can be found in Appendix A

Use of SIMD

SIMD provides information for small areas across Scotland, breaking every local authority

down into a number of data zones – a data zone is a geographic area that usually has a

population of between 500 and 1,000.

Weighted indicators, which represent the different sides of deprivation such as pupil

performance, travel times to the GP, crime, and unemployment, are grouped into seven

domain areas: income, employment, health, education, housing, access to services, and

crime. The full list of indicators will be available when the technical note for the SIMD 2020

dataset is released. However the indicators making up SIMD 2020 have remained broadly

unchanged since SIMD 2016. The main changes are:

1. the education domain now includes the Skills Development Scotland participation

measure instead of the proportion of 16-19 year olds not in education, employment or

training indicator based on DWP data.

2. the access to services domain now includes a digital connectivity indicator

3. the income and employment domains have been updated to reflect on-going changes

to the welfare system and remain broadly comparable with earlier indices.

2

Of the seven domains, the most important are income and employment – together they have

more weight than the other domains combine. Appendix B provides the weightings assigned

to each of the seven domains.

SIMD provides a relative ranking of deprivation. It is possible to use SIMD to determine

whether an area is, for example, ranked among the 5%, 10% or 20% most deprived nationally

or locally; it is also possible to compare two or more areas and say which is more deprived.

Limitations

SIMD identifies deprived areas - not people. Not everyone who is deprived lives in a deprived

area. Equally, people who are not deprived may live in a deprived area.

SIMD does not provide absolute ratings for deprivation, and because of this it is not possible

to say how much more deprived one area is compared to another, or to provide average

scores of deprivation for multiple data zones. Because a combination of domains are used to

determine relative ranking, this also means that two data zones with similar ranks can have

very different issues.

Direct comparison of individual data zones between 2020 and previous iterations of SIMD is

not possible because changes are relative and may not reflect actual changes in the

neighbourhood.

Due to ward boundary changes, introduced by the Electoral Commission in April 2016, ward

level comparisons are not possible between this SIMD dataset and previous ones. All maps

shown in this document are aligned to the ward boundaries as set in April 2016.

This change in ward boundaries in Edinburgh led to 20% of the data zones in Edinburgh lying

across the ward boundaries. For this analysis, each of the data zones which lie across

multiple ward boundaries has been looked at and assigned to the ward where most of the

housing within that data zone falls.

SIMD 2020 – Edinburgh’s Results

1. The map below shows the distribution of deprived areas within Edinburgh using

the new SIMD 2020 data. Darker colours represent the more deprived areas, with

concentrations of deprived areas notable in all four Localities across the City.

Map 1 - SIMD 2020 Rank by Edinburgh Locality

2. Edinburgh’s share of the most deprived areas in Scotland has decreased since the

last SIMD in 2016. Of the 20% most deprived data zones in Scotland, 5.0% (70 data

zones) are in Edinburgh, compared to 5.9% in SIMD 2016. See Appendix 2 for a

Locality/Ward breakdown of SIMD 2020 areas.

Maps 2 and 3 (overleaf) demonstrate that, broadly, there has been little change in

Edinburgh’s most deprived areas between SIMD 2016 and 2020.

4

Map 2 – SIMD 2020 - Edinburgh data zones amongst 20% most deprived areas in Scotland

Map 3 – SIMD 2016 - Edinburgh data zones amongst 20% most deprived areas in Scotland

The most deprived data zone in Edinburgh is in Great Junction Street, which is in Leith

Ward/North East Locality. It ranks as one of the top 20 most deprived areas in Scotland,

with a rank of 12.

Edinburgh is the local authority with the seventh highest proportion of data zones in the

20% most deprived areas (shown in Chart 1).

3. Looking at just the Edinburgh’s data zones, Edinburgh’s local share of the most

deprived areas is 11.7%. This compares to 44.7% in Inverclyde and 44.4% in

Glasgow. Chart 2, below, compares the local share of deprived areas by local

authority.

Chart 2 – SIMD 2020- Proportion of data zones in the 20% most deprived areas of Scotland by local

authority locally

4. Edinburgh’s share of the least deprived areas in Scotland has increased since

2016. Of the 20% least deprived data zones in Scotland, 19.3% (270 data zones) are in

Edinburgh, compared to 17.9% in SIMD 2016. The least deprived data zone in

Edinburgh is in Stockbridge in Inverleith Ward/North West Locality. It has a rank of

6,976, making it the least deprived data zone in Scotland.

5. Whilst deprivation exists in Edinburgh, most of the City’s data zones rank amongst the

least deprived areas in Scotland. 45.2% of Edinburgh’s data zones are in the 20%

least deprived areas of Scotland. This is similar to the pattern observed for SIMD

2016 when 42% of Edinburgh’s data zones were in the 20% least deprived. Only two

other local authorities have a higher proportion of data zones in the 20% least deprived

areas of Scotland (East Dunbartonshire, 51.5%, and East Renfrewshire, 57.4%).

6. Looking at the seven domains that are combined into the SIMD score (income,

employment, health, education, housing, access to services, crime), Chart 3 below

shows that Edinburgh’s share of the most deprived areas in Scotland is higher for the

Housing, Crime and Education domains than the overall deprivation line; equivalent to

the overall deprivation for Employment, Income and Health domains; and lower for the

Access domain. This is a similar picture to the SIMD 2016 figures.

SIMD 2020 – Locality Results

7. The chart below shows the percentage of deprived areas in each Locality and across

the Wards within Edinburgh using the new SIMD 2020 data. Each Locality has a

Ward with no data zones in the most deprived quintile. Each Locality also has a

Ward where there is a significant level of deprivation (over 25%).

8. The chart below shows the percentage of deprived areas in each Locality by the seven

domains. For each Locality, Housing is the domain showing the highest

proportion of deprivation.

SIMD 2020 – Ward Results

9. A single page summary of SIMD 2020 data for each Ward has been produced and can

be found in the following pages of this report.

10. Each Ward summary shows:

a. a chart showing the proportion of the data zones within the Ward by SIMD

deprivation quintiles.

b. a chart showing deprivation for the seven domains that make up the overall

SIMD figure for the Ward

c. and a map showing the deprivation quintiles for each data zone within the Ward.

Datazones that fall over ward boundaries are only shown in the map of the Ward

they have been allocated to for this briefing.

Next Steps

11. SIMD 2020 was officially published by the Scottish Government on 28 January 2020.

Additional information can be found on the Scottish Government website.

12. Further analysis of SIMD 2020 will be carried out by Strategy & Communications to

support the development of strategic plans. If you have any questions or would like any

specific analysis, please contact us.

13. This analysis of deprivation data comes in the context of ongoing wider analysis of

poverty and income inequality in Edinburgh, currently being undertaken by Strategy &

Communications.
