Our Localities

Locality Planning is a term used to describe community planning partners working within a geographical area to plan for and deliver improved outcomes.

This involves the development of a plan which seeks to make things better for the community. Community Planning Aberdeen believes working with local communities to develop and deliver these plans offers the best chance of success.

For locality planning, we have split the City of Aberdeen into three localities: North, South and Central. These localities are made up of Aberdeen’s 37 Neighbourhoods.

We consider some of these neighbourhoods to be ‘priority neighbourhoods’. This is based on analysis from the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). These neighbourhoods need additional support to benefit from the same opportunities to thrive and succeed as other neighbourhoods within Aberdeen.

Localities Outcomes Data

Data Limitations: The data presented in this tool is based on either data zones or, in most cases, intermediate zones. It should be noted that neither of these is an exact fit for the priority localities. ‘Best fit’ has therefore been used when assigning the zones to the localities.
