Under-occupied housing in England 2001-2023, by tenure

Published by Statista Research Department, Jan 29, 2024

In 2023, approximately ten percent of social renters in England were living in under-occupied dwellings, as compared to ten percent the year before. This is particularly important in terms of social housing renters, as they could be subject to an under-occupancy penalty due to government reforms in 2012. In 2023, there were around four million socially rented households in England.
