1. Question was asked in survey every other year until 2016, but missed in 2018. 2016 is the most recent data available. Figures will be available in alternate years from 2019.

2. Figures are slightly different from those previously published as the SIMD16 classification is now being used rather than SIMD2012

Following changes to the Scottish Household survey, options for this question have changed and are no longer comparable. See TATIS 2018 for the most recently produced version of the table with the previous options, and Table 26a (below) for current options.
