Abstract: In this paper, special tabulations of microdata from the 1981 Census of Scotland are used to examine patterns of disadvantage at the household level. The overlap of six criteria of household disadvantage is described by region, settlement size, urban subarea, household type, and housing submarket and in relation to ‘conventional’ ecologically-defined areas of deprivation. It is shown that disadvantaged households are disproportionately concentrated in the worst-off areas, though not overwhelmingly so, and that there are distinctive spatial variations in the nature of multiple disadvantage.
