Footnotes
1) Figures are from the Scottish Household Survey (SHS), which is a sample survey. Therefore, all figures quoted are estimates rather than precise percentages.
2) Rows may not sum to 100% because of rounding (to the nearest whole number), or where multiple responses to a question are possible.
3) The base number shows the total population or population sub-group examined in it from the SHS. While all results have been calculated using weighted data, the bases shown give the unweighted counts. The SHS has a sample size of around 15,000 households per year.
More information about it is available from the SHS section of the Scottish Government's website.
