It’s now time to talk about the ugly sides of towns and cities in the UK that many of the adherents of such towns don’t want to hear. No matter how positively we try to look at the town of Greenock, Inverclyde, we would always find that it is one of the poorest towns in the United Kingdom. If you are objective enough, you won’t be shocked that it is. After all, this is not the first time the town would be ranked this way. You likely have seen it listed among the poorest towns in Scotland. However, is this town poor? If it is, why is it poor? What effect has that had on aspects of life in this town?

It’s now time to talk about the ugly sides of towns and cities in the UK that many of the adherents of such towns don’t want to hear. No matter how positively we try to look at the town of Greenock, Inverclyde, we would always find that it is one of the poorest towns in the United Kingdom.

You likely have seen it listed among the poorest towns in Scotland. However, is this town poor? If it is, why is it poor? What effect has that had on aspects of life in this town?
Greenock in Brief
Before we go into all that, please let’s tell you a bit more about Greenock. It’s a town in the Inverclyde area. Greenock was home to Greenock Dockyard Company, a shipbuilding firm, the demolished Easter Greenock Castle, Greenock Morton FC, a Scottish football team, and Greenock Telegraph, an Inverclyde local newspaper.
It used to be a former constituency of the British House of Commons, of Greenock and Port Glasgow, a former constituency of the UK House of Commons, and Greenock and Inverclyde, a former constituency of the Scottish Parliament. Today, it is an administrative center in the Inverclyde Council area, though a former burgh within the Renfrewshire historic county. It’s a Scottish town located in the west-central Lowlands.
Is Greenock Really Poor?
Do we really have any justification for describing Greenock as one of the poorest towns in the UK? Let’s look at what stakeholders say about this. We’ll consider statistics and the living cost.
The unemployment rate of the 1970s and 1980s as a result of the decline in industries hasn’t really abated. It continued into the dawn of the millennium such that even two decades into the 21st century, the town still needs to grapple with a serious lack of jobs.
As of October 2012, the unemployment rate in Greenock was 5.3 percent. That was above the Scottish average of 3.9 percent. Of course, this figure was for the Scottish Parliament constituency which includes Gourock, Inverkip, Port Glasgow, and Wemyss Bay. Yet, Greenock’s figure was even worse, if taken in isolation. Ten years, later things have only started improving.
Index of Multiple Deprivation
In reviewing matters of poverty and affluence in the UK, the Index of Multiple Deprivation data is crucially relevant. In this regard, the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is informative. In several SIMDs, this town appears to be seriously lagging. For example, in the latest of this study, Greenock’s center was named the poverty black spot. According to the report, the Inverclyde area, which is mainly Greenock, has the largest share of deprived areas.
This is especially apparent in the domains of income and health, according to the study of these. Even on other indicators such as crime, unemployment, quality of life, and how long people in Greenock need to travel to get to a GP, things aren’t bright for the town. BBB Scotland’s social affairs correspondent, Chris Clement remarked that there were few surprises in that SIMD update regarding its ranking of Inverclyde as Greenock fell from 23 in the last rank to the most-deprived town center in Scotland. He had earlier noticed a high number of hard-drug-related hospital admissions. Ranking second-worst in health outcomes isn’t unexpected. By the way, the town has also been scoring low repeatedly on educational outcomes.
Comparing the economic situation of the town in 2016 to what was in 2020, Jim Clocherty the deputy leader of the Inverclyde Council said that they have discovered that more investment was needed in Greenock communities. While analyzing the available figures, he said: “These figures are a bitter pill to swallow and show that investment can’t come soon enough. No part of Scotland wants to be labeled as the ‘most deprived.”

About Greenock
Greenock is a town in the council area of Inverclyde near Glasgow in Scotland. This town is located in the west-central Lowlands of Scotland forming a contiguous urban area with Gourock and Port Glasgow to the west and the east respectively. Lying south bank of the Clyde at the "Tall of the Bank,” it’s where the Clyde River deepens into the Firth of Clyde.
This town is surrounded by suburbs and famous areas such as Spango Valley located to the west of the town. The popular Bogston Railway Station that is on the Inverclyde Line, at Bogston located at the East end of Greenock in the Inverclyde council area is 35 kilometers west of Glasgow Central.
Historical Development of Greenock
As far back as 1164, the coast of Greenock had formed a broad bay with three small indentations as a safe anchorage. However, the most reliable history of Greenock can be traced back to the late 16th century when it appeared on the world scene as a small fishing village. A pier and breakwater were created the following century on the banks of the Clyde River. This introduced Greenock to the world as part of the shipbuilding business. In the early 18th century, it was converted into the main port.
As of the mid-19th century, the number of sugar ships docking at Greenock had reached 400 and there were about 14 sugar refineries operating in the town. This increased the prestige of the town and its buildings such as the Municipal Buildings which had an impressive 75-meter tower. Sadly, the Second World War dealt a devastating blow to Greenock.
Though the industry attempted to resuscitate the economy of the town, it did not reach its height again. In fact, the unemployment rate was high in the 1970s and 1980s. This continued throughout the remaining part of the 20th century. Efforts are still being made in this 21st century to ensure the big town returns to its hay days. It appears that tourism became an unexpected bonus for the town’s economy. Friendly residents are readily available to provide support for tourists.
Greenock’s Cultural Background
The cultural characteristics of Greenock could be seen in its TV, film, and literature. However, let us first talk about The Mother’s Club founded in 1801 by the Ayrshire-born merchants. It was the first Burns Club in the world. There is also the Mclean Museum, the largest in the Inverclyde area. It features exhibitions of the James Watt works and a collection of Egyptian artifacts.
There was the Arts Guild Theatre which was replaced in 2013 by the Greenock Arts Guild's Beacon Arts Centre in a new building located at Greenock’s Custom House Quay. This 500-seater theater regularly hosts programs of plays, concerts, musical expeditions, comedy performances, and other events. It also has a Studio Theatre provision and a multifunction Gallery Suite which provides rooms for rehearsal and meeting. The rooms combine as space and café for events or performances.
The McLean Museum and Art Gallery provides other cultural experiences. There you can learn about shipbuilding in the town.

It used to be a former constituency of the British House of Commons, of Greenock and Port Glasgow, a former constituency of the UK House of Commons, and Greenock and Inverclyde, a former constituency of the Scottish Parliament. Today, it is an administrative center in the Inverclyde Council area, though a former burgh within the Renfrewshire historic county. It’s a Scottish town located in the west-central Lowlands.
Is Greenock Really Poor?
Do we really have any justification for describing Greenock as one of the poorest towns in the UK? Let’s look at what stakeholders say about this. We’ll consider statistics and the living cost.
The unemployment rate of the 1970s and 1980s as a result of the decline in industries hasn’t really abated. It continued into the dawn of the millennium such that even two decades into the 21st century, the town still needs to grapple with a serious lack of jobs.
As of October 2012, the unemployment rate in Greenock was 5.3 percent. That was above the Scottish average of 3.9 percent. Of course, this figure was for the Scottish Parliament constituency which includes Gourock, Inverkip, Port Glasgow, and Wemyss Bay. Yet, Greenock’s figure was even worse, if taken in isolation. Ten years, later things have only started improving.
Index of Multiple Deprivation
In reviewing matters of poverty and affluence in the UK, the Index of Multiple Deprivation data is crucially relevant. In this regard, the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is informative. In several SIMDs, this town appears to be seriously lagging. For example, in the latest of this study, Greenock’s center was named the poverty black spot. According to the report, the Inverclyde area, which is mainly Greenock, has the largest share of deprived areas.
This is especially apparent in the domains of income and health, according to the study of these. Even on other indicators such as crime, unemployment, quality of life, and how long people in Greenock need to travel to get to a GP, things aren’t bright for the town. BBB Scotland’s social affairs correspondent, Chris Clement remarked that there were few surprises in that SIMD update regarding its ranking of Inverclyde as Greenock fell from 23 in the last rank to the most-deprived town center in Scotland. He had earlier noticed a high number of hard-drug-related hospital admissions. Ranking second-worst in health outcomes isn’t unexpected. By the way, the town has also been scoring low repeatedly on educational outcomes.
Comparing the economic situation of the town in 2016 to what was in 2020, Jim Clocherty the deputy leader of the Inverclyde Council said that they have discovered that more investment was needed in Greenock communities. While analyzing the available figures, he said: “These figures are a bitter pill to swallow and show that investment can’t come soon enough. No part of Scotland wants to be labeled as the ‘most deprived.”

About Greenock
Greenock is a town in the council area of Inverclyde near Glasgow in Scotland. This town is located in the west-central Lowlands of Scotland forming a contiguous urban area with Gourock and Port Glasgow to the west and the east respectively. Lying south bank of the Clyde at the "Tall of the Bank,” it’s where the Clyde River deepens into the Firth of Clyde.
This town is surrounded by suburbs and famous areas such as Spango Valley located to the west of the town. The popular Bogston Railway Station that is on the Inverclyde Line, at Bogston located at the East end of Greenock in the Inverclyde council area is 35 kilometers west of Glasgow Central.
Historical Development of Greenock
As far back as 1164, the coast of Greenock had formed a broad bay with three small indentations as a safe anchorage. However, the most reliable history of Greenock can be traced back to the late 16th century when it appeared on the world scene as a small fishing village. A pier and breakwater were created the following century on the banks of the Clyde River. This introduced Greenock to the world as part of the shipbuilding business. In the early 18th century, it was converted into the main port.
As of the mid-19th century, the number of sugar ships docking at Greenock had reached 400 and there were about 14 sugar refineries operating in the town. This increased the prestige of the town and its buildings such as the Municipal Buildings which had an impressive 75-meter tower. Sadly, the Second World War dealt a devastating blow to Greenock.
Though the industry attempted to resuscitate the economy of the town, it did not reach its height again. In fact, the unemployment rate was high in the 1970s and 1980s. This continued throughout the remaining part of the 20th century. Efforts are still being made in this 21st century to ensure the big town returns to its hay days. It appears that tourism became an unexpected bonus for the town’s economy. Friendly residents are readily available to provide support for tourists.
Greenock’s Cultural Background
The cultural characteristics of Greenock could be seen in its TV, film, and literature. However, let us first talk about The Mother’s Club founded in 1801 by the Ayrshire-born merchants. It was the first Burns Club in the world. There is also the Mclean Museum, the largest in the Inverclyde area. It features exhibitions of the James Watt works and a collection of Egyptian artifacts.
There was the Arts Guild Theatre which was replaced in 2013 by the Greenock Arts Guild's Beacon Arts Centre in a new building located at Greenock’s Custom House Quay. This 500-seater theater regularly hosts programs of plays, concerts, musical expeditions, comedy performances, and other events. It also has a Studio Theatre provision and a multifunction Gallery Suite which provides rooms for rehearsal and meeting. The rooms combine as space and café for events or performances.
The McLean Museum and Art Gallery provides other cultural experiences. There you can learn about shipbuilding in the town.
