Estimates of the number of dwellings in Wales by tenure and for each local authority, as at 31 March each year.Data collection and calculation
Estimates of the total dwelling stock are calculated based on data from the population censuses. The estimates are produced by using the dwelling count from the most recent 2011 census as a baseline. This count is then projected forward using information collected on annual changes to the dwelling stock through new build completions plus any gains or losses through conversions and demolitionsThe tenure split for Wales between owner-occupied and privately rented dwellings has been calculated using information from the Annual Population Survey (APS). Using the APS this split is now available at a local authority level
