| 2014-2016 2013-2015 2012-2014 2011-2013 2010-2012 |
A minor error in the statistical significance tool was corrected in the 2014-2016, 2013-2015 and 2012-2014 tables.

| SHCS 2015 Key Findings Report | Some statistics in the SHQS section of the 2015 Key Findings report have been slightly revised since publication in order to correct for an error identified in compiling the failure rate for the Energy Efficient criterion relating to 2015, which also affect the overall SHQS failure rate for 2015. The change due to the revision is within the margin of error for this survey. For the revised figures, please see the 2016 Key Findings Report available from http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/SHCS/Downloads. |

| The description of pensioner households as ‘pensioner only households’ is inaccurate. Households included under this category consist of up to two residents, at least one of whom is of pensionable age and there are no resident children. Pensionable age thresholds used in these reports are 60 for women and 65 for men. These thresholds have not been updated in line with the increase in actual pension age in 2013 and 2014. The description of household types given in section 2.4 should read as follows:
This correction affects the following tables and figures and corresponding commentary. |

| SHCS Local Authority Report 2010/12 | Table 4.2 has been revised. Previously, unobtainable and not applicable entries were not included in the total, artificially increasing the proportion of dwellings with urgent disrepair. |
