Censuses are the principal source of information on the quantity and distribution of the nation's housing and on how the population is housed. There is, however, little good geographical information available on the quality, costs and availability of housing. In England, the quality of housing is monitored officially by a periodic survey (DoE 1993) which is too small to be relied upon even to produce accurate national statistics. The local costs of owner-occupied housing can be estimated from information provided by building societies and these data are used in this chapter. Housing availability is inferred from census estimates of the number of vacant dwellings and the number of households who appear to be unsatisfactorily housed. Several new objects of analysis are used in this chapter, and are defined here. A group of people constitute a household when they live at the same address and share at least one meal a day or use a common living room. Many households thus consist of only one person. It is thus also possible for more than one household to live in the same dwelling. A dwelling is accommodation designed for one household. For each dwelling a count of the number of rooms it contained was made in the census. The count of rooms did not include bathrooms, toilets and kitchens less than two metres wide. The physical stock of housing changes slowly as property is built to last and entails a long pay-back period due to its cost, so a twenty year perspective is used in many of the maps of change shown here. This is also done because dramatic changes in the provision of housing occurred in the 1970s. Although it takes a long time to change the supply of housing, the way in which housing is used can alter relatively quickly. For instance, the proportion of dwellings which are vacant and the proportion of households which are poorly housed can fluctuate year by year. This balance is influenced by changes in how property is held (tenure) and by changes in the market price of private housing and by rents. The propensity of different kinds of households to form in different places over time, the availability of the kind of housing they need, and their ability to afford it, also require consideration in understanding how people …","PeriodicalId":333271,"journal":{"name":"City of Green Benches","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125188775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
