1. Clackmannanshire and Renfrewshire cannot separately identify vacant dwellings and second homes, as they receive the same Council Tax discount. Therefore, the total figures have been included under 'vacant dwellings'.
2. Figures for 2009 were adjusted to exclude 1,240 dwellings which had been transferred from the Council Tax system to the Non-Domestic Rates system in Highland. These dwellings were mainly caravans and holiday lets, which were let out for more than 140 days per year, are now classed as businesses rather than dwellings.
3. There can sometimes be variations in the ways that some local authorities classify vacant properties and second homes between different years. This can have a small effect on the percentages of dwellings which are vacant or second homes each year in a local authority area.
The Sources, Methods and Definitions section of the main publication contains definitions of each of the household characteristics listed in the table.
