Footnotes
1) East Renfrewshire were unable to provide data zone level information on occupied and vacant dwellings prior to 2010. They have been able to provide this information from 2010 onwards therefore the percentages are directly comparable with those in last year's publication.
2) Data zone figures are not available on second homes for Clackmannanshire, East Renfrewshire and Renfrewshire. These data zones have been removed from calculations of second homes for each SIMD decile. The Scotland figure includes totals for these three local authority areas, from Table 9, to be in line with other Scotland-level statistics quoted in the publication.
