Notes
- MHCLG's estimate of leasehold homes, from the English Housing Survey with HM Land Registry, its dwelling stock estimate and the Valuation Office's council tax records, for the survey year April to March. Its release gives a range around the estimate in its text; the tables give the estimate, which is shown.
- MHCLG's Table 1 lists the estimates in thousands, to the nearest thousand, as they are shown here; its cells hold them unrounded, as the download gives them. Its percentages are rounded to one decimal place.
