Source question:
Reason for asking: This question provides information on the amount and type of housing in each area. It identifies changes in the state of the housing stock, and provides a firm basis for assessing current and future demand.
This information also helps with calculating whether appropriate forms of housing are available in local areas and contributes to the allocation of improvement grants.
England & Wales (2011) and Scotland (2001) comparisons:
The England and Wales (2011) question was the same as Scotland 2011. The question in 2001 was also the same and therefore the data is fully comparable.
