In all tables, percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole number. Nil percent is indicated by a dash (-). Figures between 0% and 0.5% are indicated by a zero (0). Figures between 0.5% and 1.0% are rounded to 1%.
In some tables where figures have been rounded, the sum of constituent items may not always agree exactly with the total shown.
For the purposes of the survey, a household is defined as one person or a group of people living in accommodation as their only or main residence and either sharing at least one meal a day or sharing the living accommodation.
The highest income householder is taken as the household reference person for the first part of the interview. This must be a person in whose name the accommodation is owned or rented or be otherwise responsible for the accommodation.
In households with joint householders, the person with the highest income is taken as the household reference person. If householders have exactly the same income, the older is taken as the household reference person.
The term adult is used to refer to those aged 16 and over (except where otherwise stated).
An older person is someone aged 60 years old or more.
The term household income refers to net income (i.e. after taxation and other deductions) from employment, benefits and other sources, which is brought into the household by the highest income householder and/or their spouse or partner. This includes any contribution to household finances made by other household members (e.g. dig money). Cases with missing information (because of refusals or 'don't knows') in relation to any of the main components of household income are excluded from the analyses in this bulletin. Sixty per cent of households are included in the household income analysis.
The current analysis does not include any imputation of income data. Imputation may be used in future analyses to provide household income data for all cases.
The household type variable used here is based on that used by the Scottish House Condition Survey and is defined as follows:
A single pensioner is 1 adult of pensionable age and no children.
A single parent is an adult of any age and 1 or more children.
A single adult is an adult of non-pensionable age and no children.
An older smaller household is an adult of non-pensionable age and 1 of pensionable age and no children or 2 adults of pensionable age and no children.
A large adult household is 3 or more adults and no children.
A small adult household is 2 adults of non-pensionable age and no children.
A large family is 2 adults and 3 or more children or 3 or more adults and 1 or more children.
Small family households are 2 adults and 1 or 2 children.
The bedroom standard is calculated as follows. A separate bedroom is allocated to each cohabiting couple, any other person aged 21 or over, each pair of young persons aged 10-20 of the same sex, and each pair of children under 10 (regardless of sex). Unpaired young persons aged 10-20 are paired with a child under 10 of the same sex if possible or allocated a separate bedroom.
MOSAIC is a system that classifies neighbourhoods according to characteristics recorded in the 1991 Census. It uses statistical analysis of variables such as home ownership, car ownership, age, health, employment status and occupation to identify types of neighbourhoods with similar characteristics. The ten broad area types generated from this information have been used in this Bulletin.
The term social landlord refers to local authorities, housing associations, housing co-operatives and Scottish Homes.
