Introduction

Purpose

This document is part of a project evaluating the importance of hill farming in Scottish communities. It compares agricultural and population census data at an agricultural parish level to an index of hill farming.

Population census

Population census data missing for some areas in 2001. Missing for some variables, but not others.

Population change

Population working

Public sector type work

Need to detail what’s included in 2001 and 2011 public service, as this could be source of increase!

Primary production

Agricultural census

Agricultural census questions considered:

ITEM 177 is useless - apparently all owner occupiers in 2000 were less than 30 years old.

## Warning: Removed 2 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

## Warning: Removed 732 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

Why so many missing values in 2011 item177?

make up of sector age? gender owned/rented? casual family

Possible to look at productivity change? Is output higher for less staff? Is this universal or do hill areas behave differently?

Comparisons

Proportions of each classification against hill score.
