About this data

Source: Northern Ireland Housing Executive, House Condition Survey 2023: fuel poverty

• Wales and Northern Ireland: a household is fuel poor if it needs to spend more than 10% of its income on fuel to heat its home adequately.
• Estimates for individual councils are based on small samples. Lisburn and Castlereagh’s number of fuel-poor households is not published, but its rate is.
• Each nation measures fuel poverty differently, so the figures are not comparable between nations.
