The index does … • ….pick out area concentrations of multiple deprivation • ….provide a ‘scale’ of deprivation The index does not… • ….describe how much more deprived one area is than another • ….make absolute comparisons over time, BUT individual indicators and the employment domain can be used • ….measure affluence – least deprived areas are not necessarily ‘rich’ areas • ….pick out deprived individuals - Not all deprived people live in the most deprived areas, and not all those living in deprived areas are deprived • ….answer all deprivation questions See SIMD 2006 Guidance Leaflet for advice on appropriate use of the index
