This section gathers statistical information on characteristics of households and their accommodation.
It contains selected results, considered worthy of special attention from all relevant household surveys. The main source is Communities and Local Government Survey of English Housing (SEH). Others include the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Labour Force Survey (LFS).
The tables included here cover trends in: number of households by tenure; length of residence by tenure; economic status by tenure; household type by tenure; current tenure by previous tenure for households that have moved in the past 12 months; overcrowding by region; and average household size by accommodation type.
