Percentage of Local Authority housing stock that is non-decent (139) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the non-decent local authority dwellings as a proportion of the total council housing stock at 31st March, of the reporting year.
Dwellings in the area, as defined in the Census, as a self-contained unit of accommodation. Self-containment is where all the rooms (including kitchen, bathroom and toilet) in a household(s) accommodation are behind a door which only that household(s) can use.
The regional and England level percentages of non-decency had their methodology updated to exclude local authorities where information on stock was reported but data on non-decency was not. In January 2022, the methodology was further updated to exclude cases where zero decent stock was reported, as it was not fully possible to distinguish between a genuine zero and a non-response in most cases. Therefore, the values prior to 2019-20 are not comparable.
This indicator is from the Local Authority Housing Statistics data returns (LAHS) Section F - Condition of Dwelling Stock.
This measure is reported as BV 184a. It was previously reported as NI 158.
