The Greater London Authority's ‘Housing in London’ report sets out the evidence base for the Mayor's housing policies, summarising key patterns and trends across a wide range of topics relevant to housing in the capital. The report is the evidence base for the Mayor’s London Housing Strategy, the latest edition of which was published in May 2018. The 2024 edition of Housing in London can be viewed here. It includes monitoring indicators for the London Housing Strategy, and five thematic chapters: 1. Demographic, economic and social context 2. Housing stock and supply 3. Housing costs and affordability 4. Housing needs, including homelessness and overcrowding 5. Mobility and decent homes Where possible, the data behind each year's report's charts and maps is made available below.

Building affordable and council homes is a priority for the Mayor in tackling London's housing crisis and a key component of the London Housing Strategy. The GLA Housing team monitor a range of housing statistics produced by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), and this spreadsheet contains a section from the Affordable Housing Open Data. This data has been used to measure the number of affordable and council homes built in London since 2016/17 and includes all affordable homes built, including those which did not receive funding from the GLA. This dataset does not incorporate DLUHC data for 2021/22 or GLA data for 2022/23.

FOCUSONLONDON2010:INCOMEANDSPENDINGATHOME Household income in London far exceeds that of any other region in the UK. At £900 per week, London’s gross weekly household income is 15 per cent higher than the next highest region. Despite this, the costs to each household are also higher in the capital. Londoners pay a greater amount of their income in tax and national insurance than the UK average as well as footing a higher bill for housing and everyday necessities. All of which leaves London households less well off than the headline figures suggest. This chapter, authored by Richard Walker in the GLA Intelligence Unit, begins with an analysis of income at both individual and household level, before discussing the distribution and sources of income. This is followed by a look at wealth and borrowing and finally, focuses on expenditure including an insight to the cost of housing in London, compared with other regions in the UK.

This spreadsheet contains: the total number of net additional dwellings from all sources, Total number of dwellings, and Average dwelling size (persons per dwelling) Net additional dwellings includes conversions, change of use, and other reasons, minus demolitions and all dwellings estimates. The net additional data is by borough since 2004/05 and total dwellings estimate is since 2001. More information can be found on the CLG website. Data is from Tables 122 and 125. A figure of persons per dwelling has also been included using population estimates. This release takes annual figures on net housing supply in England from two data sources: 1) information submitted to Communities and Local Government (CLG) by local authorities in all regions except London through the Housing Flows Reconciliation (HFR) form; and 2) information collected by the Greater London Authority (GLA) for London Boroughs. From 2000-01 to 2003-04, all local authorities submitted data to Communities and Local Government through the HFR form. Between 2004-05 and 2008-09, Communities and Local Government worked jointly with Regional Planning Bodies in some regions on joint returns to ensure consistency between the net housing supply figures reported at various geographical levels. In 2010 the abolition of Regional Planning Bodies prompted a return to submission through the HFR for all local authorities outside London. Because of the unique status of the GLA, London Boroughs continue to supply their data through the GLA. Users should note that the London figures are provisional at this stage and may be subject to change before they are reported in the GLA’s Annual Monitoring Report in February 2011. Local authorities have until early September, five months after the end of the financial year, to complete the HFR form. This change to the data collection process has enabled Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to publish the net supply of housing statistical release for 2009-10 four months earlier than in previous years. DCLG also publish house building statistics by local authority (Table 253), but the GLA prefer to use Net Additional Dwellings because they are more complete in terms of borough coverage, and comprehensive, as they cover more than just new build. Dwellings estimate is at 31 March Figures from 2001 and 2011 are census figures. All figures from 2002 to 2011 have been revised following the release of the dwelling count from the 2011 census. Data from 2003, 2003 and 2004 contains a number of imputed and adjusted values and should not be considered as robust as subsequent years. Average dwelling size (persons per dwelling) using population estimate (ONS) divided by number of dwellings. Population data is from ONS mid year estimates and projections.
