Footnotes Following new regulations which allow councils to increase the Council Tax on certain types of long-term empty properties, many Council areas have reviewed which properties were classified as being vacant or second homes, which led to changes in their figures. This has also had an impact on the overall number of households recorded in his table. Figures for 1991 to 2001 are based on the number of households recorded in the 1991 and 2001 Censuses and the mid-year population estimates. Figures for 2002 and onwards are based on the number of occupied dwellings (Table 9a), adjusted from September to June. They are then adjusted by an amount calculated from the differences in 2001 and in 2011 between the number of occupied dwellings and the number of households recorded in the Census. Household estimates were revised following the 2011 Census. Figures from 2001 to 2012 have been adjusted slightly to improve consistency and comparability with census data.
