Definition and caveats
New social housing lettings in England in the year to March: the sum of the three nationality groups of Table 3e of the Tenants Summary Tables (UK national, EEA countries, all other countries), which cover every letting because the department imputes missing answers in that table. The sum is our addition of the three published figures and each observation names them.
Doesn’t measure: The number of households living in social housing (this is the year's new lettings, a flow), mutual exchanges, or lettings in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
