Statistics for particular authorities

Each year the government publishes data on vacant dwellings for each local authority and for England as a whole. This data is derived from local authority Council Taxbase data, which is a snapshot of the position in October each year. Action on Empty Homes produces the only authoritative independent analysis of this data. If you are a local campaigner or media organisation please contact us for further details about your area.

To simply view the Government data please go to table 615 vacant dwellings:
