The above data will be subject to revisions in autumn 2003. This is because the data is from the Labour Force Survey, which is currently based on data from the 1991 census. In autumn 2003, the Labour Force Survey will be revised to reflect the results of the 2001 census.

Due to local government reorganisation in 1975 and 1996 it is not possible to give reliable figures for East Dunbartonshire prior to 1981 for population and 1994 for average (mean) household size. The total population in East Dunbartonshire local authority area rose from 109,684 as at the 1981 census to an estimated 110,760 in 2000. Estimated average (mean) household size fell from 2.68 persons per household in 1994 to 2.57 in 2000.In 1995, all the population within the old district council area of Bearsden and Milngavie and around 80% of the population of Strathkelvin fell within the East Dunbartonshire local authority area. Population estimates were produced for these parts of old district council areas but average household sizes were not.Population in the combined old district council areas of Bearsden and Milngavie and Strathkelvin rose from 113,116 as at the 1971 census to an estimated 127,220 in 2000. Average (mean) household size fell from 3.25 persons per household as at the 1971 Census to 2.74 as at the 1991 Census.It is not possible to provide equivalent household data from the 1961 census as the counties in place at that time split the area now covered by East Dunbartonshire into several different parts and covered very different areas.Census and Estimated Total Population and Average Household Size in the East Dunbartonshire Local Authority Area 1971 to 2000

Assuming that previous trends in household formation continue, the Scottish Executive projects that between 2000 and 2014, the number of two adult households without children in the East Dunbartonshire local authority area will increase from 12,660 to 15,010.The table shows the total number of households and number of two adult households there are projected to be in Scotland and in the East Dunbartonshire local authority area for years 2000 to 2014.Projected Number of Two Adult (No Children) Households in the East Dunbartonshire Local Authority Area 2000-2014

Due to local government reorganisation in 1975 and 1996 and a change in household projection methodology it is not possible to give reliable figures for East Dunbartonshire prior to 1994 for the household types requested. In 1995 all the population within the old district council area of Bearsden and Milngavie and around 80% of the population of Strathkelvin fell within the East Dunbartonshire local authority area. Information from the 1971, 1981 and 1991 censuses has been used to show the number of households within these two old district council areas. It is not possible to provide equivalent household data from the 1961 census, as the counties in place at that time split the area now covered by East Dunbartonshire local authority area into several different parts and covered very different areas.(a) In the combined old district council areas of Bearsden and Milngavie and Strathkelvin, the number of one adult households (with no children) rose from 3,843 as at the 1971 Census to 9,069 in 1991 Census. Information from the 1994-based household projections show 8,400 one adult households in the East Dunbartonshire local authority area in 1994 rising to 10,230 in 2000 (taken from the 2000-based household projections).(b) In the combined old district council areas of Bearsden and Milgavie and Strathkelvin the number of one adult households with one or more child rose from 410 as at the 1971 census to 1,456 in 1991 census. Information from the 1994-based household projections show 1,400 one adult households with one or more child in the East Dunbartonshire local authority area in 1994 rising to 1,890 in 2000 (taken from the 2000-based household projections).(c) In the combined old district council areas of Bearsden and Milngavie and Strathkelvin, the number of two or more adult households with one or more child fell from 16,063 as at the 1971 census to 15,181 in 1991 census. Information from the 1994-based household projections show 12,700 two or more adult households with one or more child in the East Dunbartonshire local authority area in 1994 falling to 11,690 in 2000 (taken from the 2000-based household projections).Census and Household Projection Based Number of Households by Household Type in the East Dunbartonshire Local Authority Area 1971 to 2000
