Understandable Statistics

Finding usable statistics for a particular area can be very difficult but the Scottish Government web site has two very good sources of information which I use a lot especially at work.

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation site http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/SIMD/ has great interactive maps that you can query for an area.

The Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics page http://www.sns.gov.uk/ has a great set of tools to provide data to your desktop. In these days where producing evidence for all that you do both are well worth bookmarking.
