Data Provides Insight Into Family Life

The latest publication of data from the 2011 Census provides a new insight into the life of families and households in Scotland.

The Scottish Government added that the statistics will also help to enable better planning for the future.

The figures show that since 2001, the number of married or same-sex civil partnership couple families fell from 38% to 32% of all households, while the proportion of cohabiting couple families rose from 7% to 9%.

Commenting on the publication, Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "2011 Census data released earlier this year has already revealed Scotland is more multi-cultural than ever before, while enjoying a strong sense of national identity.

"This latest tranche of data provides a further snapshot of how we live in Scotland today. It reveals a picture of household and family life, from accommodation type and occupancy to the diversity of ethnicities between different household members."
