Housing statistics: Local authority housing stock

Time series tables of stock owned by local authorities and Scottish homes.


Data is presented for local authority owned housing stock and for vacant local authority owned housing stock. Up until 2005 data is also available for Scottish Homes, and therefore the Scotland total represents public sector housing stock rather than exclusively local authority owned stock.  

Housing stock data is available for:

  • type of property (house, high rise flat, tenement flat, 4 in a block, other flat/maisonette)
  • year of construction (pre-1919, 1919-1944, 1945-1964, 1965-1982, post-1982)
  • normal use of stock
  • construction type

Vacant housing stock data is available by:

  • normal use of stock
Public sector housing stock
Public sector vacant housing stock
