\n \nThe data are made available for a two-year rolling sample i.e. approximately 12,000 cases together with the appropriate two-year weights. For example, the EHS Housing Stock results presented here are for 2013, but cover the period April 2013 to March 2015. This means that if you use more than one housing stock dataset, you must use either odd or even years. For example, you need to use the Housing Stock Dataset for '2012' and '2014' or '2013' and '2015', but not the dataset for '2014' and '2013' as you would double-count the cases surveyed between April 2013 and March 2014. The Housing Stock dataset should be used for any analysis requiring information relating to the physical characteristics and energy efficiency of the housing stock. Derived datasets provide key analytical variables compiled post-fieldwork including energy efficiency ratings, decent home indicators and equivalised income. \n \nUsers who only require data from the household interview should use the English Housing Survey, 2014-2015: Household Data (SN 8009). \n \nLatest edition information \nFor the fourth edition (March 2017), the physical data file has been updated; cavity wall insulation variables wallinsy and wins90x have been replaced and new cavity wall insulation variable wins95x added.\n
\nFurther information: In compliance with Building Regulations, an increasing proportion of dwellings built in 1991 or after with cavity walls had cavity wall insulation fitted at the time of construction (known as ’as built' insulation), although compliance could also be achieved through other techniques. The non-intrusive survey undertaken in the EHS would not always be able to identify as built insulation (though the surveyor might have found out from the occupant), so dwellings built in 1991 or...","sameAs":"http://doi.org/10.5255/UKDA-SN-8010-4","keywords":["CENTRAL HEATING","FLOORS","FOSSIL FUELS","RENTS","HOUSING TENURE","WINDOWS","RESIDENTIAL MOBILITY","HEADS OF HOUSEHOLD","HOUSING FACILITIES","STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS (BUILDINGS)","RENTED ACCOMMODATION","BUILDING MAINTENANCE","HOUSEHOLD INCOME","VACANT HOUSING","ECONOMIC ACTIVITY","SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS","HOUSES","HOUSING CONDITIONS","FREEHOLD","SOCIAL HOUSING","HOUSING AGE","APARTMENTS","COSTS","ROOMS","THERMAL INSULATION","HOME OWNERSHIP","LANDLORDS","HOUSING","AGE","WALLS","ETHNIC GROUPS","HOUSEHOLDS","TENANCY AGREEMENTS","DISABLED PERSONS","STATUS IN EMPLOYMENT","HOUSEHOLDERS","SPOUSES","MORTGAGES","GENDER","HEATING SYSTEMS","RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS","BOILERS","BEDROOMS","LEASEHOLD","STANDARD OF LIVING","WHEELCHAIRS","SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS","COHABITATION","PROPERTY, OWNERSHIP AND TENURE","SINGLE OCCUPANCY HOUSEHOLDS","ELDERLY","CARE OF DEPENDANTS","STATE RETIREMENT PENSIONS","CHRONIC ILLNESS","NEIGHBOURHOODS","ENERGY CONSUMPTION","PLACE OF RESIDENCE","2014-2015","England"],"variableMeasured":"Dwellings, Individuals, Families/households, National","measurementTechnique":"Face-to-face interview, Physical measurements, House inspection; Surveyor property inspection.","identifier":"10.5255/UKDA-SN-8010-4","creator":[{"@type":"Organization","name":"Department for Communities and Local Government"}],"temporalCoverage":"2013-04-01/2015-03-01","spatialCoverage":"England","datePublished":"2016-07-11","dateModified":"2024-04-26"}
