Note: Total figures for Scotland may not equal the sum of the waiting list and transfer list columns as some local authorities are unable to break down totals into these two areas. In most cases the figures are from the register for the councils' own housing and do not include any applicants on registered social landlord lists, except in the case of two local authorities.
1. Some applicants will be on more than one authority's list. However, the extent to which this occurs is not known and the Scotland total therefore includes an unquantifiable amount of double counting.
2. 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 for the rest of Scotland.
3. Local authority operates a Common Housing Register (combined local authority and registered social landlord list).
4. Local authority operates a combined waiting and transfer list.
5. Figures used are estimates based on 2002 data due to outstanding returns.
6. The figure for applicants on the Housing Register as at 31 March 2002 are as at 4 April 2002.
7. Register has not been reviewed for a considerable period so cannot provide date when last reviewed.
