Accessibility and Clarity

Community Ownership in Scotland statistics are made available online at the Scottish Government’s statistics website as part of the Community Ownership in Scotland collection page in accessible formats (HTML and PDF versions are available). Tables and figures are made available in Excel and PDF format to allow users to carry out further analysis. Maps are also made available separately in PDF format.

The publication has been produced to meet the accessibility criteria set out in the Scottish Government’s accessibility statement and a related statement concerning the accessibility of official statistics. This means that the contents of the publication, including tables, figures and diagrams, should be fully accessible using assistive technology, e.g. screen readers. We welcome feedback from users concerning any accessibility issues they encounter.

  • name of the group owning the asset
  • name of the asset
  • postcode of the asset
  • local authority of the asset
  • area of asset (where applicable and available)
