• In 1991 there were 2.04 million households in Scotland.

• By 2033, the number of households is projected to increase to 2.8 million.

• Most of the increase is the result of an ageing population and more people living alone or in smaller households, rather than an increase in the overall population. Scotland’s Households 1991 to 2033

• In contrast, Inverclyde has a projected decrease of 5 per cent. Projected Household Composition for 2008

Some remote rural areas have the highest proportions of second homes, particularly parts of the west coast and some of the islands, Highland Perthshire and the area around the Cairngorms National Park. The percentage of vacant dwellings in each ‘data zone’ in 2009.

Across Scotland as a whole, 2.9 % of dwellings are vacant.

Remote rural areas have higher percentages of vacant dwellings, 4.5 % of all dwellings in these areas. Demography statistics on GROS website: http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/statistics/index.html
