Health related behaviour • Over 10% of 15 year olds in Glasgow are regular smokers, a similar proportion to other cities in Scotland. • Of 15 year olds who drink, 35% have been drunk more than 10 times, a notably higher proportion than in other Scottish cities. • The rate of hospital admissions due to alcohol related causes among children and young people in Glasgow varies by neighbourhood and is higher in the most deprived areas than in the least deprived. • Nearly a quarter of 15 year olds in Glasgow report that they have taken drugs, a higher proportion than the Scottish average. • Only 13% of children and young people in the Glasgow area eat enough fruit and vegetables, similar to the Scottish average. • 73% of children and young people in the Glasgow area get enough exercise, similar to the Scottish average. • Just under 60% of primary school children, and nearly 50% of secondary schoolchildren in Glasgow actively travel to school • The rate of teenage pregnancies in Glasgow is higher than the Scottish average. Breastfeeding by neighbourhood Unintentional injuries trends Low birth weight by neighbourhood Wider socio-economic context In-work poverty The Scottish Government published their latest report on poverty and income inequality in Scotland in July 2014. The key findings for Scotland were: • a sharp rise in the number of individuals living in relative poverty in 2012/13 - up to 820,000; • rises in the percentage of children in relative poverty (up from 15% in 2011/12 to 19% in 2012/13) • rises in working age people and pensioners in poverty, 15% of adults in each are now defined as living in relative poverty Health Inequalities Pedestrian Child Casualties Rates of pedestrian child casualties (5-15 year olds) by deprivation, Glasgow and Clyde Valley, 1996- 2000 to 2002-2006 Source: Police Statistics 19 600 500 Least Deprived 400 2 3 4 5 300 6 7 Rates per 100000 8 200 9 Most deprived 100 0 1996-2000 1997-2001 1998-2002 1999-2003 2000-2004 2001-2005 2002-2006 Year Junior Great Scottish Run, 2008-2011 Analysis within Glasgow by Deprivation Social, emotional and conduct difficulties, pre-school children 60% 50% % of 'Children in poverty' across 40% Child Poverty 30% Glas g 20% ow: 32.2% 10% Source: HM Revenue & Customs 7.3% 0% Glasgow neighbourhoods, as at August 2011 Cathcart & Simshill Robroyston & Millerston Pollokshields West Hyndland, Dowanhill & Partick East Newlands & Cathcart % of Children in poverty Kelvinda & K lvinside divided by the total number of children in thele area (determinede by Child Benefit data) Baillieston & Garrowhill Anniesland, Jordanhill & Whiteinch Kingspark & Mount Florida Shawlands & Strathbungo South Nitshill & Darnley Mount Vernon & East Shettleston Carmunnock : Number of children livingB roomhillin families in & receipt Part ofic CTCk W whoseest reported income is less than 60 per cent of the median income o Blairdardie Bellahouston, Craigton & Mosspark Langside & Battlefield Pollok Croftfoot Crookston & South Cardonald Pollokshaws & Mansewood Knightswood Temple & Anniesland North Maryhill & Summerston Hillhead & Woodlands Govanhill North Cardonald & Penilee Blackhill & Hogganfield Yorkhill & Anderston Pollokshields East Arden & Carnwadric Yoker & Scotstoun Greater Govan Corkerhill & North Pollok 52.0% City Centre & Merchant City Tollcross & West Shettleston Ibrox & Kingston Toryglen Balornock & Barmulloch Maryhill Road Corridor Lambhill & Milton Riddrie & Cranhill Ruchazie & Garthamlock Dennistoun Easterhouse Haghill & Carntyne Springboig & Barlanark Priesthill & Househillwood Castlemilk Greater Gorbals Springburn Ruchill & Possilpark r in receipt of IS or (Income-Based)C altonJSA, & Bridgeton Drumchapel Sighthill, Roystonhill & Germiston Parkhead & Dalmarnock Male life expectancy by neighbourhood 85 Estimated male life expectancy at 83 Child Poverty vs Life Expectancy 81.7 81 79 80.6 Source: GCPH from data supplied by National Records of Scotland and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs 77 79.2 79.9 75 75.9 76.7 73 Estimated male life expectancy at birth birth (2008-20012) vs 71 76.0 75.8 69 76.1 77.1 74.4 7% 67 9% 10% 11% 75.4 11% 14% 75.4 65 11% 14% 16% 75.0 16% . child poverty (2011) Cathcart & Simshill 17%71.4 Male LE at birth Robroyston & Millerston 17% 73.9 74.6 18% 19% Pollokshields West 75.6 Hyndland, Dowanhill & Partick East 20% 73.8 75.3 Newlands & Cathcart 25% 27% 29% 22% 30% Kelvindale & Kelvinside 24% 25% 31% Baillieston & Garrowhill 31% Anniesland, Jordanhill & Whiteinch 73.1 31% 33% Kingspark & Mount Florida 33% Shawlands & Strathbungo 33% , Glasgow neighbourhoods 34% South Nitshill & Darnley 71.6 72.4 Children in poverty - % Mount Vernon & East Shettleston 34% 72.0 75.0 34% Carmunnock 72.4 35% Broomhill & Partick West 73.5 36% Blairdardie 37% 71.4 74.4 37% Bellahouston, Craigton & Mosspark 37% Langside & Battlefield 38% Pollok 74.0 38%38% Croftfoot 72.8 Crookston & South Cardonald 39% 39% Pollokshaws & Mansewood 40% Knightswood 41% 41% Temple & Anniesland 42% North Maryhill & Summerston 67.4 43% 70.7 43%43% Hillhead & Woodlands Govanhill 44% 45% 69.7 North Cardonald & Penilee 72.5 46% 69.8 47% Blackhill & Hogganfield 70.2 70.8 66.7 47% Yorkhill & Anderston 48% 52% Pollokshields East 49% 55% Arden & Carnwadric 70.1 Yoker & Scotstoun 71.4 Greater Govan 69.8 50% Corkerhill & North Pollok 70.4 70.8 City Centre & Merchant City 45% Tollcross & West Shettleston 71.5 Ibrox & Kingston 69.7 Balornock & Barmulloch 69.9 71.3 40% Toryglen Maryhill Road Corridor 35% Lambhill & Milton 68.9 Riddrie & Cranhill 30% Ruchazie & Garthamlock 68.7 Dennistoun 69.1 Easterhouse 25% Haghill & Carntyne 69.9 68.9 Springboig & Barlanark 67.8 20% Priesthill & Househillwood 66.2 Castlemilk 15% Greater Gorbals 67.6 Springburn Ruchill & Possilpark 10% % of children living in poverty Calton & Bridgeton Drumchapel 5% Sighthill, Roystonhill & Germiston Parkhead & Dalmarnock 0% 1.

  • Simd Analysis: Future Projections

    Simd Analysis: Future Projections

    SIMD ANALYSIS: FUTURE PROJECTIONS 1. Background and Introduction 1.1. This paper analyses the reasons behind the recent decline of deprivation in Glasgow, projects these trends towards 2015, and comments on their likely implications. It is based on a presentation made to the Community Planning Executive Group on 2nd June 2010, which itself came from a series of events held in autumn 2009/spring 2010, involving over 120 people from council and non- council organisations in Glasgow. 1.2. The gains Glasgow made in reducing its share of Scotland’s deprivation have been the result of long-term trends that have been operating over the last two or more decades. Identifying both the trends that led to the current situation, and those currently in operation which can reasonably be presented as being influential in Glasgow towards 2015, form the basis of the projections in this paper. The main indicator used has been the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), and the analysis of three waves (2004, 2006 and 2009) has been supported by the use of other indicators. Looking at the absence of deprivation as well as at areas defined by deprivation includes all communities and gives a rounded analysis of the city. 1.3. The trends that have shaped the city at present are long-term and have been in operation since the 1990s, if not earlier. It follows that trends that can be identified in the present day will be those that influence the city by 2015. Their general direction has been to accelerate Glasgow’s development to its current position as a representative medium-sized western European city.
