Notes: Figures previously provided by North Ayrshire for 31 March 2003-31 March 2007 included all households placed in temporary accommodation during the quarter. Figures have been revised for this publication using corrected data.
1. Includes Glasgow Housing Association stock from 2003, and all other housing associations from June 2005 onward.
2. The category 'other' includes mainly private landlords. Prior to June 1999 the figures may also include an unknown number of local authority-owned chalets or mobile homes.
3. From June 2005, this includes households with pregnant women. Figures from this point onward are therefore not strictly comparable with previous ones.
