Figures for 1991 to 2001 are based on the number of households recorded in the 1991 and 2001 Censuses and the mid-year population estimates.
Figures for 2002 onwards are based on the number of occupied dwellings (Table 9), adjusted to the number of households recorded in the 2001 Census and adjusted from September to June.
1. Figures on dwellings for North Ayrshire Council Tax returns were adjusted in 2002 and 2003, following a manual check of Council Tax discounts by the Council. This has also had a small effect on the 2004 household estimates for North Ayrshire. The revised figures were first produced for the "Estimates of households and dwellings in Scotland, 2007" publication
