Source: Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) – Live tables on dwelling stock (including vacants)
Notes:
- Estimates from 2002 are based on local authority and Private Registered Provider (housing association) dwelling counts, the Labour Force Survey and, from 2003, the English Housing Survey. Estimates may not be strictly comparable between periods.
- From 2003 the figures for owner-occupied and the private rental sector for England have been produced using a new improved methodology as detailed in the dwelling stock release. Prior to this vacancy was not accounted for.
- Due to disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, there was a lower response rate for the LAHS return for 2020 compared to previous years. As such, the reductions seen in Local Authority stock and Other Public Sector stock may reflect lower data quality rather than real changes.
