Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD)

The Access Domain appears to be the most significant for the Carnoustie and Monifieth areas of Angus. The access domain includes two sub-domains, one assessing drive time to particular services such as GP surgery and schools, and the other travel times by public transport and/or walking. There are 9 datazones which are access deprived in SIMD 2012 in South Angus and Monikie.

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) identifies small area concentrations of multiple deprivation across all of Scotland, in ‘datazones’ (areas with populations between 500-1000). This is measured by considering several different types of deprivation, Access, Health, Education, Crime, Employment and Income. In an area like Angus, with small towns and rural areas, poverty and deprivation is likely to be more dispersed than in urban areas and therefore less likely to be highlighted in SIMD.

Not everyone in an area of multiple deprivation is deprived, just as not every deprived person in Angus lives in an area identified by SIMD.
