The English Housing Survey (EHS ) Fuel Poverty Datasets are comprised of fuel poverty variables derived from the EHS, and a number of EHS variables commonly used in fuel poverty reporting. The EHS is a continuous national survey commissioned by the Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Government (MHCLG) that collects information about people's housing circumstances and the condition and energy efficiency of housing in England.

End User Licence and Special Licence Versions
Similar to the main EHS, two versions of the Fuel Poverty dataset are available from 2014 onwards. The Special Licence version contains additional, more detailed, variables, and is therefore subject to more restrictive access conditions. Users should check the End User Licence version first to see whether it meeds their needs, before making an application for the Special Licence version.

Secondary modelling of EHS to derive fuel poverty income and energy consumption variables, The main fuel poverty metric in England is Low Income Low Energy Efficiency (LILEE) and fuel poverty gap.

Fuel Poverty Dataset

The fuel poverty dataset is comprised of fuel poverty variables derived from the English Housing Survey (EHS), and a number of EHS variables commonly used in fuel poverty reporting. The fieldwork for the EHS is carried out each financial year (between April and March). The fuel poverty datasets combine data from two consecutive financial years. Full information on the EHS survey is available at the DLUHC EHS website and further information on Fuel Poverty and the EHS can be sought from FuelPoverty@beis.gov.uk and ehs@communities.gov.uk respectively. Guidance on use of EHS data provided by MHCLG should also be applied to the fuel poverty dataset.

Further information may be found in the Annual Fuel Poverty Statistics Report: 2021 (2019 Data) on the gov.uk website.

This shows fuel poor households as a proportion of all households in the geographical area (modelled) using the Low Income Low Energy Efficiency (LILEE) measure. Since 2021 (2019 data) the LILEE indicator considers a household to be fuel poor if: it is living in a property with an energy efficiency rating of band D, E, F or G as determined by the most up-to-date Fuel Poverty Energy Efficiency Rating (FPEER) methodologyits disposable income (income after housing costs (AHC) and energy needs) would be below the poverty line. The Government is interested in the amount of energy people need to consume to have a warm, well-lit home, with hot water for everyday use, and the running of appliances. Therefore, fuel poverty is measured based on required energy bills rather than actual spending. This ensures that those households who have low energy bills simply because they actively limit their use of energy at home, Fuel poverty statistics are based on data from the English Housing Survey (EHS). Estimates of fuel poverty at the regional level are taken from the main fuel poverty statistics. Estimates at the sub-regional level should only be used to look at general trends and identify areas of particularly high or low fuel poverty. They should not be used to identify trends over time.Data is Powered by LG Inform Plus and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

Portugal, Spain and Bulgaria are the countries most at risk of energy poverty in the European Union. As of 2023, over ********* of households in each country were unable to adequately heat their homes. They were followed Lithuania, where another ** percent of households struggled to keep their houses warm.

This statistic represents the percentage of households living in fuel poverty in England in 2010, sorted by working status. In England, approximately **** percent of households where the reference person was unemployed were in fuel poverty that year.

The English Housing Survey, 2004: Fuel Poverty Dataset is derived from the 2004 EHS database created by the DCLG. This database is constructed from fieldwork carried out between April 2003 and March 2005. The midpoint of this period is April 2004, which can be considered as the reference date for the fuel poverty dataset. Guidance on use of EHS data provided by DCLG should also be applied to the fuel poverty dataset. The dataset is the outcome of analysis conducted to produce estimates of the number of households living in fuel poverty in England in 2004. Previously, a household was defined as being fuel poor if they spent more than 10% of their income on fuel. Main Topics: The data cover modelled household fuel costs and consumption.

In nearly every period covered, white households had a bigger fuel poverty gap (the amount needed to get out of fuel poverty) than ethnic minority households.

Households in Fuel Poverty using the government Low Income Low Energy Efficiency (LILEE) method. The data shows numbers and percentages of households at County, District, and Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) geographies. The dataset is updated annually. Source: Experimental statistics published by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (DBEIS). See the source weblink for further guidance on the statistics and their uses and limitations. (For example, this data should only be used to look for particular areas of high fuel poverty, but not to analyse trends over time. Caution is advised regarding data for small areas such as LSOA, and other local data ideally should be used together with this data).

The data includes estimates at lower super output area (LSOA) of housholds subject to high energy costs and low income (since 2011) and of households spending 10% or more of their income on fuel, for 2008 to 2012. All the data comes from DECC.

Fuel poverty is the requirement to spend 10% or more of household income to maintain an adequate level or warmth. The energy efficiency of a house can be measured using the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). The procedure calculates a number between 1 and 100, low numbers generally indicates a house that has low levels of insulation and an inefficient heating system where as numbers closer to 100 indicate a very energy efficient house. SAP is the Government's recommended system for energy rating of dwellings. SAP is being used as a proxy for fuel poverty in households of people claiming income based benefits, given the link between income poverty and fuel poverty.
