Every place, the highest figure first. The number before each is the hub's own position in the list, not the publisher's: equal figures share one, marked =.

Notes

  • Households eligible for help and threatened with homelessness within 56 days, to whom the council owed its duty under section 66 of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 to help prevent it. Households already homeless are owed the section 73 duty to help secure accommodation, which StatsWales counts apart; the hub shows the prevention duty alone rather than adding the two.
  • StatsWales rounds each figure to the nearest 3 to protect privacy, so the councils add up to Wales within a few dozen. The latest year is provisional.
