Description

This dataset contains information on the number of dwellings per hectare in each Data Zone, and higher geographies such as Council Areas.

A 'dwelling' refers to accommodation such as a house or a flat, and includes second homes that are not let out commercially. Caravans count as dwellings if they are someone’s main home. Data on number of dwellings is obtained from the Assessors’ Portal in December each year, or the following January. The Assessors are, amongst other things, responsible for valuing each dwelling in Scotland for the purposes of assigning it to a Council Tax Band.

Dwellings per hectare is calculated by dividing the total number of dwellings by the area in hectares. The areas in hectares of 2001 and 2011 Data Zones are produced by National Records of Scotland (NRS). The areas of higher geographies, such as Council Areas, are based on aggregating Data Zone data on a 'best fit' basis. This means that results for higher geographies such as Council Areas are estimates. Best-fit simply means that when Data Zones are aggregated and assigned to a higher geography, they do not fit exactly into the boundary of the higher geography; instead they form an approximation to the shape of the boundary of the higher geography. For the years 2003 to 2013, the areas of higher geographies have been calculated by aggregating 2001 Data Zones areas. For 2014 onwards, the areas of higher geographies have been aggregated from 2011 Data Zone areas. This means that the areas of higher geographies used to calculate dwellings per hectare are different before and after 2014, and therefore the estimates of dwellings per hectare before and after 2014 are not directly comparable.

Summary statistics for National Parks, Strategic Development Plan areas, urban-rural classifications and Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation deciles are published annually in 'Estimates of Households and Dwellings in Scotland', which is available on the National Records of Scotland (NRS) website.
