Notes: Percentages are based on applications and assessments during the period. Figures exclude Angus and Falkirk due to technical problems in submitting HL1 data.
1. Percentages are based on household data from the 2001 Census on the ethnic group of the household reference person and number of households in each postcode sector.
2. Based on postcode of last settled accommodation (if in Scotland). This is recorded for about 60% of cases (see notes and definitions).
3. Based on the 2004 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (due to be updated in October 2006). Information on the SIMD can be found on the Scottish Executive website at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2004/06/19421/38085.
