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 - facts and figures for Multi-member Wards.
• Census analysis
• Socio-economic information
  • demographic trends
  • household estimates and projections
  • employment
  • benefits and unemployment
  • deprivation and fragility
  • quality of life
  • school roll forecasts
• Publications containing statistical socio-economic analysis.
  • Briefing Notes 
• Housing Land Audit - an audit of land available for housing in Highland.

You can also get more information from the Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics website at http://www.sns.gov.uk/.
