Notes

MHCLG's definition: 'Second homes are those dwellings which are furnished and are not used by anyone as their main home.'
The counts are of chargeable dwellings on each council's Council Taxbase return ('Number of chargeable dwellings adjusted in accordance with lines 5 and 6 (Line 7)') classed as second homes for council tax – not every home its owner treats as a second home.
From 1 April 2025 councils have been able to charge a premium of up to 100% on second homes. A zero is the number of dwellings the council reported on Line 11c, as MHCLG publishes it; MHCLG's Table 6.06 records whether each council applied the premium.
The headline is England's figure on the same table.
