• Figures before 1971 are estimates by the housing historian Alan Holmans; 1981 to 2008 are from the Labour Force Survey; from 2008/09 onwards from the English Housing Survey. Early years are sparse, so the lines join points several years apart.
• The English Housing Survey moved to telephone interviews during the pandemic, which may affect 2020/21 figures.
