Number of dwellings on the valuation list, by council tax band and output area. The Valuation list is held by the Valuation Office Agency of HMRC. The number of dwellings in each band taken at the end of March. Based on property values at 1 April 1991, homes are allocated to one of eight bands in England: the lowest - band A - is for homes worth less than £40,000, and the highest - band H - is for those worth more than £320,000. Data for each band down to Output Area level back to 2001 is available from Neighbourhood Statistics.

Dwellings on the valuation list, by council tax band and ward. The Valuation list is held by the Valuation Office Agency of HMRC. The number of dwellings in each band taken at the end of March. Based on property values at 1 April 1991, homes are allocated to one of eight bands in England: the lowest - band A - is for homes worth less than £40,000, and the highest - band H - is for those worth more than £320,000. Data for each band down to Output Area level is available from Neighbourhood Statistics. The ward data was aggregated using Lower Super Output Area data. Data at ward level is currently not being updated so the data on this page will not change, but is available for Lower Super Output Areas which fit to wards. See more on the VOA website.

This table shows the average House Price/Earnings ratio, which is an important indicator of housing affordability. Ratios are calculated by dividing house price by the median earnings of a borough. The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) is based on a 1 per cent sample of employee jobs. Information on earnings and hours is obtained in confidence from employers. It does not cover the self-employed nor does it cover employees not paid during the reference period. Information is as at April each year. The statistics used are workplace based full-time individual earnings. Pre-2013 Land Registry housing data are for the first half of the year only, so that they are comparable to the ASHE data which are as at April. This is no longer the case from 2013 onwards as this data uses house price data from the ONS House Price Statistics for Small Areas statistical release. Prior to 2006 data are not available for Inner and Outer London. The lowest 25 per cent of prices are below the lower quartile; the highest 75 per cent are above the lower quartile. The "lower quartile" property price/income is determined by ranking all property prices/incomes in ascending order. The 'median' property price/income is determined by ranking all property prices/incomes in ascending order. The point at which one half of the values are above and one half are below is the median. Regional data has not been published by DCLG since 2012. Data for regions has been calculated by the GLA. Data since 2014 has been calculated by the GLA using Land Registry house prices and ONS Earnings data.

Number of Local Authority dwellings. Figures in this table are unaudited by local authorities. Data before 2003/04 are more prone to errors as they were validated less rigorously. Where a local authority has become a Large Scale Voluntary Transfer (LSVT) authority it's stock would reduce to zero or a small number. The districts, unitary authorities and counties listed above are based on 1 April 1998 boundaries. Values related to any old local authorities which had gone through a boundary change have been redistributed to the relevant new local authority by proportioning based on the number of households falling within the new districts at the time. Data for each year are from the year in which they were reported. For example, 2007/08 data is from HSSA 2007/08 returns. See dwelling stock data on DCLG Website

Numbers and proportions of empty homes. The figures presented here provide a snapshot of vacant dwellings in England at 31st March. The data provide information on vacant dwellings, by period vacant and second homes, and were produced from Local Authority (LA) Council Tax systems. Vacant Dwelling – a dwelling that has either a Council Tax discount or a Council Tax exemption applied to it.
