Note: Total figures for Scotland may not equal the sum of the waiting list and transfer list columns because some Local Authorities are unable to breakdown totals into these two areas. In most cases the figures are in respect of the register for the councils own housing and do not include any applicants on RSL lists, except in the case of 2 Local Authorities.
1. Some applicants will be on more than one Authority's list. However the extent to which this occurs is not known. The Scotland total will include an unquantifiable amount of double counting.
2. The figure for households rehoused in LA dwellings includes some figures on households rehoused in other dwellings where Authorities were not able to provide the split.
3. Through nomination arrangements.
4. These LA's operate a Common Housing Register (combined Local Authority and Registered Social Landlord list).
5. The figure for number of households (re)housed in other dwellings only relates to the period 1 January 2002-31 March 2002. Prior to that period information was not recorded on this area.
6. The figures for Applicants on the Housing Register and Number of Suspensions in place as at 31 March 2002 are as at 4 April 2002.
7. The figure for Applicants on the Housing Register on 1 April 2001 is as at 11 October 2000 similarly the figure for the Applicants on the Housing Register on 31 March 2002 is as at 22 March 2002.
8. Authority operates a combined waiting and transfer list.
9. The Scotland totals for these columns are estimates . For those councils which were unable to provide the split, estimates were made assuming the same proportion of applicants on each list as in the rest of Scotland.
