| AdminHistory | The Planning Department used applications for housing in the New Town as the basis on which to tabulate and calculate its household surveys and analyses. In later years, when residents in private housing grew, it used information from the electoral register and the Lothian Health Board.
The date was used to project the plan's likely needs in coming years so that the Corporation could provide the necessary services.
The 1972 and 1977 survey were expanded to include questionnaires posted to tenants, and provide more indepth information on the town than the other profiles. |
| ScopeandContent | 26 files comprising household analyses and population profiles of Livingston, 1966-1989.
These surveys provide a summary of the town's population, its age and sex structure; the size, age and structure of households, along with the origin of the household (Glasgow, Edinburgh and so on); levels and type of employment; income and socio-economic class; car ownership and, in the early years of the Corporation, information on tenants who had come to the town as a result of the overspill agreement with Glasgow. |
