Data
Household Tenure - Scottish Survey Core Questions
Description
A respondent on behalf of the household is asked if they own the accomodation outright, if they are buying it through a loan or mortgage or if they are tenants. They are then asked from whom they rent the property - from a private individual or organisation or from a local authority or housing association.
The Scottish Survey Core Questions is an innovative project drawing together multiple household surveys to provide a large sample for subnational analysis. The three surveys used are the Scottish Household Survey (SHS), Scottish Health Survey (SHeS) and Scottish Crime and Justice Survey (SCJS). For more information on this source, see the SSCQ website.

Data quality
Completeness
In addition to the data presented here, SSCQ reports, documentation and tables for download are available on the SSCQ webpages of the Scottish Government website.
Uniqueness
Not assessed
Consistency
The SSCQ provides results at sub-national level that are often impossible with smaller samples. Measures of household tenure are also provided by the Scottish Household Survey.
Earlier results (2012-2015 and 2014-2017) from the survey are presented here for Electoral Wards using the 2007 to 2016 boundaries. These may not be comparable to other datasets which use the current Electoral Ward boundaries. Details on live and archived geographies can be found in the Standard Geography Code Register.
Timeliness
Results from the SSCQ are generally published a year after the conclusion of fieldwork period, and after results from the constituent survey are published.
Validity
SSCQ affords the production of reliable and detailed information on the composition, characteristics and attitudes of Scottish households and adults across a number of topic areas including equality characteristics, housing, employment and perceptions of health and crime.
Accuracy
SSCQ results are published with specific 95% confidence intervals, which account for the varying designs of constituent surveys. Confidence intervals provide a measure of the accuracy of point estimates, and should be considered when quoting statistics from this source. More information is provided in the SSCQ technical report.
Quality management
Further information on the methodologies used to produce these statistics can be found in the SSCQ technical reports.
