Please note that household projections show the number of households there would be in the future under a set of assumptions. The similarities between the methodologies mean that it is possible to broadly compare the results for the four countries. Although users should be aware that any differences may be partly because of the different methods used to produce the projection results. Please also note the projections for Wales are 2014-based and for other countries, 2016-based.

A larger rental affordability ratio means that an area is less affordable whereas a smaller ratio means an area is more affordable. Please note, Scottish Government uses affordability calculations for Housing Need and Demand purposes, in relation to the need for new houses. The methodology for this is different to the calculation here, which looks at the ratio of private rental prices and local housing allowance. Link to more detail on Scottish Government’s calculations can be found in ‘more details.
