Introduction

Every ten years the Office for National Statistics (ONS) carries out a census to find out more about the make-up of local communities. The Census questionnaire contains a number of questions about housing relating to: household spaces; accommodation type; tenure; central heating; household size, rooms and bedrooms; occupancy rating (whether a household is overcrowded or under occupied); household composition; and second addresses. Census data is therefore one of the most detailed sources for housing statistics and can be explored via the NOMIS website.

Every two years the Office for National Statistics (ONS) produce household projections at a local-authority level by applying projected household formation rates to ONS population projections. The ONS also provide a a wide range of additional official statistics on housing.
