Source: Evictions returns by local authorities to the Scottish Executive Development Department: Analytical Services Division (Housing Statistics).
Notes: Cases that resulted in more than one action during the quarter are counted against each action. Actions consist of those taking place during the quarter and an eviction may result from a case that proceeded to court during previous quarters. Following housing stock transfers, figures for Dumfries & Galloway, Glasgow and Scottish Borders councils are not included in the Scotland totals.
