2. Small users are postal addresses that receive fewer than 20 items of mail per day.
3. http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2006/05/22160031/8 shows new housing completions of 24,581 in 2006 and a stock of dwellings of 2,407,000 at the end of 2005, making new housing 1.02% of the total 2005 stock.
4. This must be a person in whose name the accommodation is owned or rented or who is otherwise responsible for the accommodation. The Highest Income Householder ( HIH) is taken as the household reference person for the first part of the interview. In households with more than one householder, the person with the highest income is taken as the household reference person. If householders have exactly the same income, the older or oldest is taken as the household reference person.
5. The selection of the random adult is slightly more complex than this. The random adult needs to be one of the adult household members who is aged 16 years or over, is normally resident during term time (if a student) or has not been living outside of the household for 6 months or more.
6. This additional missing information applied mainly to the Culture and Sport module where some core demographic questions (smoking, place of residence 1 year ago, employment details) had been omitted.
7. This weight incorporates the local authority weight described earlier. This is necessary for all analyses (whether of households or individuals) if the Scottish population resident in private households is to be represented accurately. The way in which weights are combined is further described later in this section.
