Number of dwellings in Edinburgh by type.
Data on type of dwelling is obtained from the Assessors’ Portal. The Assessors are, amongst other things, responsible for valuing each dwelling in Scotland for the purposes of assigning it to a Council Tax Band.
Dwellings - This is the total number of dwellings on the Council Tax valuation list (excluding free-standing private lock-ups and garages). A 'dwelling' refers to the accommodation itself, for example a house or a flat, and includes second homes that are not let out commercially. Caravans count as dwellings if they are someone’s main home.
Type of Dwelling - This information is based on 'attachment' – i.e. the type of property in relation to its degree of attachment to surrounding properties. This information has been aggregated into five categories: • Detached; • Semi-detached; • Terraced; • Flat, maisonette or apartment; and • Not known – in some areas, this information is not available via the Assessors' Portal for every dwelling.
Summary statistics on dwellings in Scotland are published annually in 'Estimates of Households and Dwellings in Scotland', which is available on the NRS website at the following link: http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/statistics/statistics-by-theme/housholds/household-estimates
