About this Report
The research team at Oxford University's Department of Social Policy and Social Work was contracted in 2002 by the Scottish Executive to construct Indices of Deprivation for Scotland.
This report presents the domains and indicators for the Scottish Indices of Deprivation. It also sets out the methodology for combining the indicators into Domain Indices and for combining the domains into an overall ward level Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD 2003). This report also describes the results and presents maps of the domains and SIMD. The analysis is based on the ward and local authority boundaries which were in place in April 1999. As far as has been possible, the indicators use data from April 2001.
