Source: Housing List returns by local authorities to the Scottish Executive Development Department: Analytical Services Division (Housing Statistics).
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. 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. Due to housing stock transfers, figures from Glasgow, Dumfries & Galloway and Scottish Borders have not been included.
1. Some applicants will be on more than one authority's list, and the Scotland total therefore includes an unquantifiable amount of double counting.
2. The Scotland totals for these columns are estimates and are therefore rounded to the nearest 100. For councils unable to provide the split, estimates were made assuming the same proportions as for the rest of Scotland.
3. Authority operates a combined waiting and transfer list.
4. Register has not been reviewed for a considerable period of time so cannot provide a date when last reviewed.
5. The figures used are estimates based on March 2004 figures (March 2002 for Edinburgh) due to outstanding returns.
6. Figures for waiting and transfer list not available.
