City of Glasgow College Annual Report & Accounts 2020-21
SIMD
Table 12 provides information related to areas of deprivation through the Scottish Index of Multiple
Deprivation (SIMD). This measure uses 38 quality of life indicators to identify small area
concentrations of multiple deprivations across Scotland. The data zones are divided into quintiles
with quintile 1 representing the 20% most deprived postcode areas in Scotland.
The table compares full time applications and full-time enrolments by quintile and location i.e.
Glasgow region and other (out with Glasgow) and shows a lower conversion from application to
enrolment across all quintiles for this year reflecting the higher enrolment figures from AY2020/21
compared to AY2021/22.
The category 'Postcode not found' represents applications from outside Scotland (non-international
i.e. other UK area or EU).
