Scottish Household Survey 2021 - telephone survey: key findings

A summary of the key findings from the Scottish Household Survey 2021 telephone survey.


An Official Statistics Publication for Scotland

Official Statistics are produced to high professional standards set out in the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. As with the 2020 results, the results of the 2021 SHS telephone survey are published as experimental statistics. They are not directly comparable to SHS face-to-face survey results for previous years (2019 and earlier). Response rates for the telephone surveys were lower than usual, and there was a change in the profile of respondents (e.g. people with degree level qualifications were over-represented). There are also potential mode effects (respondents answering differently over the telephone than they would face-to-face). For more detail, please see the 2020 and 2021 methodology reports.
