Notes

Estimates are derived from sample surveys and therefore subject to the usual sampling errors.

England—proportionsfrom the general household survey applied to the Department of the Environment's household estimates.

London—regional and sub-regional estimates require a larger sample which is only available for the years shown—from the labour force survey housing trailers. Figures for inner and outer London may not sum to the totals for Greater London because of rounding.

Information on the number of households by tenure for individual local authorities is available only from the census of population. Until 1991 census results are available, in early summer 1992, the most recent information is from the 1981 census. Copies of 1981 census reports are in the Library.
