Source: HMO returns by local authorities to the Scottish Executive Development Department: Analytical Services Division (Housing Statistics).
1. Applications refused and granted are not necessarily from the same year as when the application was received.
2. Licenses in force will exclude withdrawn applications and include applications refused and subsequently appealed.
3. Includes estimates based upon 2004 data for Argyll & Bute, Falkirk, and Scottish Borders due to outstanding returns.
4. No breakdown available for Aberdeen City and Glasgow City, therefore the total may not add up to the sum of types of HMO.
