The Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics (SNS) website contains the information included in this publication at data zone level: the number of dwellings by Council Tax band, type of dwelling, number of rooms per dwelling, density of housing and the percentage of dwellings which are occupied, vacant, second homes, entitled to a 'single adult' Council Tax discount, or an 'occupied exemption'. Please note that totals for data zone level figures might not add up to totals at the Council area level, due to rounding.
The SNS website allows users to view data or maps for individual areas, or to download all the data in order to analyse it further. It also contains a range of other data at the same level, such as population, levels of deprivation, health, education, crime, benefits and tax credits, environment and house prices.
