About this data

Source: DESNZ, Sub-regional fuel poverty data, 2021 to 2026 releases (2019 to 2024 data)

• England (Low Income Low Energy Efficiency): a household is fuel poor if its home has an energy efficiency rating of band D or below and, after paying for housing and the energy it needs, its income is below the poverty line.
• These are modelled estimates for small areas. DESNZ advises using them to see general patterns and pick out areas of particularly high or low fuel poverty, not for precise rankings. The Isles of Scilly's figure rests on a very small sample.
• Some councils merged in 2023 (Cumberland, Westmorland and Furness, North Yorkshire and Somerset), so the districts they replaced only have figures for 2019 and 2020.
