The department runs the English Housing Survey (EHS), which collects data on the number and proportion of households in each tenure. We have published data on the number and proportion of households in owner occupation in each region, for the most recent year of data collection (2020-21). However, due to sample size, the EHS cannot give robust figures at the constituency level.

For the most recently published data, the number of owner-occupied households in each region is as follows:

North East

752

North West

2,151

Yorkshire and the Humber

1,518

East Midlands

1,399

West Midlands

1,620

East of England

1,794

South East

2,754

South West

1,752

London

1,799

total

15,540
