Local authority average weekly (social and affordable) rent (14663) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the average weekly local authority (social and affordable) rent in GBP for the financial year. Average rents data were based on a standardised 52 week collection calculated from figures provided by local authorities. Average weekly rents are a weighted average of both social rent and affordable rent units.
For Some local authorities no rent figure is given because the stock is now very small and the local authority no longer reports average rents.
Stock figures used to estimate the average for England are taken at 31 March of the same year (up to 2017-18, this was 1 April of the following financial year).
Before 2011-12, local authority rent data were taken from the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) second subsidy claim form. Between 2011-12 and 2018-19, local authority rent data were taken from the Local Authority Housing Statistics (LAHS) return and only included stock held within an HRA. For 2019-20 onwards, local authority rent data were taken from the Local Authority Data Return (LADR), collected by the Regulator of Social Housing. The LADR data collection counts all stock including that held outside of an HRA.
