Notes

Households in temporary accommodation arranged by the council on the last day of the quarter, wherever the accommodation is: many London councils place households outside London. The latest quarter is provisional.
A council that sent no return for the quarter has no figure. MHCLG's region and England totals include its own estimates for those councils, so a region with a missing council is more than its councils' sum, and is not checked against them. Councils' figures are not rounded; regions and England are rounded to the nearest 10.
