Featured High Level Trend

Tenure

The last quarter of a century has seen a significant change in housing tenure. In 1982, under 40% of dwelling stock was owner occupied. By 2004, the proportion had risen to 65%, although this has levelled out in recent years. A more recent devlopment since 2001 is a relatively small but consistent increase in private rented stock, from about 7% in 2001 to nearly 10% in 2008.
