1. Population estimates are at mid-year from the National Records of Scotland (http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/statistics/theme/population/estimates/mid-year/index.html).

Following the publication of revised 2011 mid-year population estimates, the 2011-12 data has been calculated using the revised estimates and will therefore not match those published in the last statistical bulletin.
