General description

These are 2018-based estimates of overall additional housing need in Wales. They are based on estimates of existing unmet need and newly arising need. The estimates cover 20 years at both a national and a regional level and are presented as an annual average over a 5 year period. Estimates of additional housing need by tenure are for the period 2018/19 to 2022/23 only.

Data collection and calculation

2014-based household projections have been used to calculate newly arising need. Existing unmet need is calculated from the 2011 census and Households in Temporary Accommodation. Estimates of the need for additional housing units by tenure are based on a set of assumptions (see related article for further information.
