Explanatory notes

Figures which have been revised for this issue (as well as all percentages) are shown in italic type.

In some tables, where figures have been rounded, the total shown may not equal the sum of its constituent parts.

Please note there are no Rent Registration tables included in this bulletin due to data access problems. Homelessness statistics are published separately. More detailed breakdowns of the statistics presented in the tables will, in some cases, be available. Contact the Housing Statistics branch to find out what further details can be made available (contact details on the back page).

As a result of the transfer of local authority housing stock during 2003 in Dumfries and Galloway, Glasgow and Scottish Borders councils, figures for local authority dwellings do not include figures from these local authorities from 2003 quarter 2 onwards. These cases are indicated in the footnotes.
