Dwelling stock estimates

The information provides an estimate of the number of residential dwellings by each tenure type and by local authority, at the end of March each year. The data is used by the Welsh Government, local authorities and other housing organisations to help monitor trends in the overall level of Welsh housing stock, as well as any changes in its tenure distribution over time.

Estimates of the total number of dwellings are based on data from the population censuses. These are updated annually to take account of new house building and demolitions. The breakdown of dwelling stock estimates by tenure shown in this release is estimated from 2011 Census information and information from the Annual Population Survey, local authority returns and registered social landlord (RSL) returns.
