Chart 1 shows the percentage of data zones by council that are among the most deprived 15% of data zones in Scotland, as defined by the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). This proportion varies widely across Scottish Councils.  Four council areas have no data zones defined as among the most deprived 15%.  At the opposite extreme 34% of the most deprived 15% of data zones lie within Glasgow City, although this figure, based on the 2006 version of SIMD, represents a reduction from SIMD 2004 when 38% of such data zones were in Glasgow City.

Chart 2 shows the local share of data zones within each council that are among the 15% most 'health' deprived data zones nationally, as defined by the health domain of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). This proportion ranges widely across Scottish Councils.  Orkney and Shetland Island Councils have no data zones among the 15% most 'health' deprived data zones.  At the opposite extreme 39% of data zones in Inverclyde and 49% in Glasgow City, fall within the 15% of most deprived data zones in relation to health.
