Orkney MSP @Liam4Orkney has warned that new figures published in #SIMD2020 should be treated with caution https://t.co/quHIFHRuTN | "not a good indicator when it comes to rural and island areas" | amendment to motion https://t.co/gg2qLGb6RS | #SIMD20 #deprivation #opendata
This is what change in #SIMD2020 rankings show - just shuffling across Scotland in levels of concentrated deprivation, not absolute change within neighbourhoods
People keep using #SIMD2020 as though it's an absolute measure 🤦♂️
Although people have used all IMDs in this way
An insightful analysis of the latest #SIMD2020 data from @SPICe_Research.

this is a similar kind of chart, but it shows the % of each area's population living in each decile (e.g. in Inverclyde, 30% of the population live in areas in the most deprived decile - but of course SIMD and similar indices are about areas rather than individuals) #SIMD2020
"The shape of Scotland's inequalities have largely been formed by the way capital has moved in and out of areas in its never-ending search for higher profit margins."

Thread: I live in Merkinch, Inverness and represent it on the council. A part of this area has just ranked 8th in the #SIMD2020.
Lots to ponder following the publication of #SIMD2020 data today.🤔
As @HallidayRoger notes, "how can we focus on the strengths & assets of communities...to work together to make 🏴a fair and inclusive place to live"?

One point on accountability. It’s wrong of @inverclyde leader to put his name and picture to every press release about investment or attacking Scot Gov but today sends out his deputy to address the #SIMD2020 figures. Lack of leadership is one of the obstacles Inverclyde faces.
Great to see @DRCYouthProject that volunteered with @newyokerdiners too, getting a mention for all'their good work in the @scotgov new #SIMD2020 statistics

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2020 (#SIMD2020 )
To the tune of Flash - SIMD, ahhhhhh ah, measure of concentrated deprivation! So #SIMD2020 , I'm just going by the Beeb's coverage here:

Which is VERY good. So glad to see the nuanced media coverage continue after the horror of https://t.co/dBd4XcpUrk
Brace yourselves, adoring fans. I'll just finish my lunch and then do a thread with some initial thoughts on #SIMD2020 !
