Housing satisfaction and neighbourhood rating by tenure
Chart 5: Housing satisfaction by housing tenure, 2023
Note:
- Data for 2023 is found in Table 1.40 in the supporting excel document.
Chart 5 illustrates that the majority of households in each housing tenure are very/fairly satisfied with their housing in 2023. However, the proportions differ by housing tenure:
- 79% of households in social rented properties reported being very/fairly satisfied, compared with 84% in privated rented properties and 96% in owner occupied properties.
- 13% of households in social rented properties reported being very/fairly disatisfied, compared with 7% in privated rented properties and 1% in owner occupied properties.
The majority of households rated their neighbourhood as a very or fairly good place to live. Again, this varied by housing tenure (97% for owner occupied, 94% private rented, 88% social rented; Table 1.41 in the supporting excel document).
