Housing and Energy Survey

Do you think your home will meet your needs in 10 years time? Do you own your home or rent?

Our national housing and energy survey asks people over the age of 50 living in Scotland about their current housing situation and energy usage. It explores people's future housing intentions, home accessibility needs, their local community, cost of living, paying for energy, and home energy efficiency measures.

We regularly ask older people for their insight and experiences on important issues. It offers government, the media, decision makers, and companies unique and powerful evidence to help inform their future policies and ensure that the needs of Scotland’s older population are heard.
