Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will make an estimate of the number of home owners in each constituency.
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 |
