Each of the domains can also be ranked individually. Using the relative rankings each data zone can be assigned to a decile for each domain and the overall index. Decile 1 is the most deprived 10% of Data Zones and decile 10 is the least deprived 10% of Data Zones. When comparing results from the different versions of the SIMD it is important to take into account changes to the methodology used to construct the individual domains and the overall SIMD between the three indices.
