English Housing Survey modelling published on 25 June 2026 gives estimates of non-decent homes, Category 1 hazards and damp in each local authority, broken down by tenure and dwelling type.
Key facts
- Who: Readers interested in the condition of occupied homes in local authority areas in England
- From: 25 June 2026
- Source: English Housing Survey: local authority housing stock condition modelling, 2024
The English Housing Survey series now includes sub-regional estimates of housing stock condition. The release is an Official Statistics in Development series, published on 25 June 2026.
It gives modelled estimates for occupied homes in each local authority, covering three measures:
- Decent Homes Standard: the number and proportion of occupied homes deemed non-decent.
- Category 1 hazards: the number and proportion of occupied homes deemed unsafe because they have a Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) Category 1 hazard.
- Damp: the number and proportion of occupied homes that have a problem with damp.
For each measure, the figures are given by tenure and by dwelling type.
What this means for tenants, landlords and homeowners
The release offers modelled estimates of how many occupied homes in each local authority area are non-decent, have a Category 1 hazard or have a problem with damp, and how those figures differ by tenure and dwelling type.
Readers who want to see the figures for their own area can find them in the release itself.
