Notes: Figures from March 1993 to March 1996 include estimates for Fife council. Midlothian figures prior to 30 June 2002 are reported incorrectly since they relate to households placed into temporary accommodation during the quarter.
1. Includes Glasgow Housing Association stock from 2003, and all other housing associations from June 2005 onward.
2. The majority of hostel accommodation is accounted for by Glasgow - see the notes section.
3. The category 'other' includes mainly private landlords. Prior to June 1999 the figures may also include an unknown number of local authority-owned chalets or mobile homes.
4. From June 2005, this includes households with pregnant women. Figures from this point onward are therefore not strictly comparable with previous ones.
5. Due to technical problems, Scotland totals include estimates for Angus based on previous data.
6. Due to technical problems, Scotland totals include estimates for Angus and North Ayrshire based on previous data.
