Municipality with area address density >=2500 adresses per km 2 (2012). Data obtained from Statistics Netherlands e . Municipality with area address density <500 adresses per km 2 (2012).Data obtained from Statistics Netherlands Construction of the SEI-HS Three of the 20 available items were removed in the final model of the OVERALS analysis (Table 1 last column), while 17 items remained. As shown in Table 3, the dimension (inadequate) Social Participation was measured with 6 items, the dimensions Material Deprivation and (insufficient) Normative Integration were both measured with 4 items, and the dimension (inadequate access to basic) Social Rights with 3 items. Transformed item scores are shown in Figure 1 (Material Deprivation), Additional file 1 (Social Participation), Additional file 2 (Social Rights) andAdditional file 3 (Normative Integration). Figure 1. Category quantifications SEI-HS items dimension Material deprivation. Figure 1 shows for each item of the dimension Material Deprivation the relationship between the original category and the quantification resulting from the canonical correlation analysis. Categories indicating little or no social exclusion received the lowest quantifications and categories indicating high levels of social exclusion received the highest values. The category quantifications were used to calculate the Material Deprivation scale score by multiplying them with their item weights (Table 3); and adding up the results.
