2. Source: Department for Work and Pensions: Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit Management Information System, quarterly caseload counts, taken on the second Thursday of the month from February, May, August and November 2001. Figures are rounded to the nearest ten for individual local authorities and to the nearest thousand for Scotland as a whole. The Scotland total includes 2,770 Scottish Homes' tenants, for whom a local authority breakdown is not available. Figures refer to a benefit unit, which may be a single person or a couple. Figures for any non-responding authority or for an authority, which was unable to provide accurate information, have been estimated. The total for Scotland excludes extended payment cases.
3. Source: HRA return from Local Authorities.
4. This is an estimated figure.
5. Average weekly rent is estimated by dividing the estimated housing revenue from 1 April 2001 - 31 March 2002 by the total housing stock at the mid point of the year (30 September 2001). The figures are estimates. Near actual figures will be available in 2002.
