Number of Registered Social Landlord dwellings. Note: from 2002 the figures in this table are not comparable to those in the main dwelling stock table because the stock figures from 2002 in this table include social rent bedspaces as well as social rent self-contained units; the main dwelling stock tables are based on self-contained units only. Data based on data collected by the Housing Corporation via the annual Regulatory and Statistical Return (RSR) and presents stock for general needs social housing rental stock and for supported housing and/or housing for older people housing stock. Note that stock figures from 1997 to 2001 are based on counts of self-contained units only. From 2002 the stock figures include self-contained units and bedspaces. From 2005 there was some general needs stock was reclassified as supported stock. This may have resulted in some of the older person stock being counted as bed spaces rather than self contained units. The districts, unitary authorities and counties listed above are based on 1 April 1998 boundaries. Figures for any "new" re-organised areas have been estimated retrospectively applying the new boundaries back to 1997, making appropriate assumptions for any county re-organisation which involved cutting across districts. Numbers can increase dramatically from one year to another as a result of Large Scale Voluntary Transfers from local authority stock. Decreases are usually the result of sales or demolitions.

Land use change: Proportion of new dwellings on previously developed land and density of new dwellings. Data is for four years combined for reliability. Regional data is available for single years on Communities and Local Government website. The data in the table above are based on records received from Ordnance Survey up to March 2010. The table is therefore consistent with the Statistical Release published on 30th July 2010. There is a time-lag between land use change occurring and it being recorded, because some changes can take a few years to be recorded, therefore data are constantly being updated. See more on the DCLG website.

Housing prices and number of transactions by dwelling type. House sales not at full market value are excluded. Ownership of this dataset remains with the Communities and Local Government (CLG). Information can only be reproduced if the source is fully acknowledged. The Land Registry (LR) and CLG have provided these datasets drawn from the Land Register. Information on outliers, that is transactions involving a very low or very high price, is included so that users can take their impact into account when using the data. Available for Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA). NOTE: This data has not been updated since 2009. See more on the ONS NESS 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.

Number of households waiting for local authority housing. Local authorities sometimes maintain a common waiting list with the Housing Association/s in their district. However, no information is available where a Housing Association maintains a separate waiting list to the local authority. Direct comparisons between authorities' housing waiting lists can be misleading in particular because authorities have different arrangements for checking that applicants continue to require housing and their policies and practices can change over time. The introduction of choice-based approaches to the letting of social housing (whereby applicants have more of a say and choice over where they live) has had an impact on the size of the waiting list. Choice-based lettings (CBL) has led to increases in the number of households on the waiting lists, including those groups which are traditionally under-represented in social housing, e.g. people in employment. The accuracy of the list also depends on the extent to which housing authorities keep the register up-to-date, e.g. some people might already have found housing, yet remain on the list. The introduction of CBL and the removal of the statutory duty to maintain a register have taken away much of the rationale for regularly reviewing the waiting list. However, it was anticipated that housing authorities would continue to maintain a waiting list of housing applicants in order to perform their allocation function properly. The districts, unitary authorities and counties listed above are based on 1 April 1998 boundaries. Figures for any "new" re-organised areas have been estimated retrospectively applying the new boundaries back to 1996, making appropriate assumptions for any county re-organisation which involved cutting across districts. Some earlier years' data might have changed based on updated figures in later years' returns. Latest available mid-year household estimates for the districts used. Data for each year are from the year in which they were reported. For example, 2007/08 data is from HSSA 2007/08 returns. View live tables on rents and tenancies on DCLG website
