It contains processed quantitative data combining Scottish Government school-leaver attainment statistics, the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, the Scottish Government Urban–Rural Classification, and 2011 Data Zone spatial information.

The deposit includes cleaned analysis datasets, a multilevel/spatial model dataset, spatial outputs, codebooks, a missing-data summary, a file manifest, and analysis code.
