Estimated percentage of Houses in Multiple Occupation within the area (17016) Metric type
- Help text
- This is an estimate of the proportion of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) as of 31 March at the end of the reporting year. This is the number of multiple occupancy dwellings within the local authority area, not just its own stock divided by the total number of dwellings in the area including vacants multiplied by 100.
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.
A house in multiple occupation is defined as an entire house, flat or converted building which is let to three or more persons who form two or more households, who share facilities such as a kitchen, bathroom and toilet [Sections 254-260 of the Housing Act 2004].
