The latest results from the 2011 Census in Scotland show that, for the first time ever, there were more single person households than any other household size.

The results also show that, whilst the overall population is growing and getting older, it is not a uniform picture across Scotland.

The statistics published today by the National Records of Scotland (NRS), provides estimates of the population of each local authority area broken down by sex and 5 year age band as well as estimates for the number of households within each area.
