About this data

Source: Scottish Government, Scottish House Condition Survey: local authority tables 2022–2024

• Scotland (Fuel Poverty (Targets, Definition and Strategy) (Scotland) Act 2019): a household is fuel poor if it needs more than 10% of its income after housing costs for fuel, and what's left is not enough for an acceptable standard of living (below 90% of the Minimum Income Standard). Extreme fuel poverty uses 20%.
• Percentages are published as whole numbers. Council samples are small even when pooled, so small differences between councils may not be meaningful.
• Each nation measures fuel poverty differently, so the figures are not comparable between nations.
