North West England and the West Midlands had the largest mismatch between the supply and demand of housing in 2023. If the number of dwellings added to the housing stock continues being lower than the number of new households formed there would be a housing shortage. However, London showed some signs of having a housing shortage, as it had the largest difference between the homes built and the households formed between 2016 and 2023.
