For the overall data (i.e. without dependent children or equivalent), these are more comparable than the data with dependent children or equivalent. However, the overall recommendation is to NOT compare data due to the following reasons (quoted from the following report: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/housing/articles/ukhomelessness/2005to2018#temporary-accommodation):
"Legislative differences across the UK as to whether priority need is taken into account for temporary accommodation influences the ability to compare data, particularly for households with dependent or expected children." AND "Overall, differences in reporting time frames, such as snapshot data or placements over time, and reporting categories, such as types of accommodation and length of stay, are key challenges to making direct and robust comparisons between UK temporary accommodation data."
