Highland Facts and Figures

It is essential that the decisions made by the Council are based on up-to-date, relevant, accurate information and so a key role of the section is to bring together and analyse key national and local data sets and distribute the results throughout Council Services and beyond, to agencies and to the public. The type of information we hold ourselves, or gather from other sources includes:

• Key facts and figures about Highland in our Highland Profile.
  • Ward profiles 
• Census analysis.
• Socio-economic:
  • demographic trends; 
  • household estimates and projections;
  • employment and unemployment;
  • deprivation;
  • fragility;
  • quality of life;
  • school roll projections.
• Environment:
  • designated natural heritage areas;
  • listed buildings/conservation areas;
  • agriculture, forestry, fisheries & aquaculture.
• Briefing Notes and other publications containing statistical socio-economic analysis.
• Housing Land Audit.
