Notes:

1. Includes Glasgow Housing Association stock from 2003, and all other housing associations from June 2005 onward.

2. The category 'other' includes mainly private landlords. Prior to June 1999 the figures may also include an unknown number of local authority-owned chalets or mobile homes.

3. From June 2005, this includes households with pregnant women. Figures from this point onward are therefore not strictly comparable with previous ones.

4. 271 of the households in temporary accommodation on 31 March 2009 were asylum seekers in Glasgow in temporary accommodation following 'legacy case' reviews. Paragraph 13 of the notes on the statistics provide full background.
