Notes

  • From the returns each council in England makes to MHCLG for the year to 31 March, on the council it made its return as. A council that keeps no housing revenue account, having transferred its homes, answers many questions with not applicable.
  • A home is non-decent if it has a serious hazard, is not in a reasonable state of repair, lacks reasonably modern facilities or is not reasonably warm. A council that gave no figure shows as not published.
