Housing stock in units is an economic estimate of the number of housing units in Canada, the provinces and territories by institutional sector, dwelling occupation, dwelling type, and tenure type. These data are used to estimate gross domestic product by income and expenditure. The units are benchmarked to dwelling data from the census at the national, provincial and territorial levels. Dwelling type and tenure type are also aligned with census data.

As of October 2021, single-family dwelling units made up over 81 percent of the housing stock in the United States. The size of single-family housing units has steadily risen since the start of the 21st century.

In 2023, around 54.7 percent of the housing stock in Japan was 24 years or older. Dwellings aged up to eight years accounted for a share of 13.1 percent. The number of housing units in Japan reached 65.1 million in the same year.

In 2023, Japan's housing stock comprised around 65.1 million dwelling units. The number of housing units increased by over two million compared to five years ago. Japan’s housing stock Single-family homes made up the largest part of Japan’s inhabited housing stock, followed by apartments. While around 55.7 million housing units were occupied, a comparably large share of dwellings were vacant. Communities across Japan are faced with a growing number of abandoned homes whose owners are unknown. Given the rapidly shrinking population, rural depopulation, and the large supply of new homes every year, the proportion of empty homes in Japan is likely to further increase over the coming years. How big are homes in Japan on average? While the size of homes may largely vary depending on the type and geographical location, an average occupied home in Japan had a floor area of 93.04 square meters in 2018, with rented dwellings being much smaller than owned homes. Toyama Prefecture recorded the largest average floor size per dwelling. Not surprisingly, the smallest and most expensive homes could be found in the overpopulated metropolis of Tokyo.

The majority of the housing stock in the United States is single-family detached houses. Of the total 128.5 million housing units in 2021, about 81.7 million were detached homes and 8.2 million were attached single-family homes. In comparison, roughly 31.8 million units were in multifamily buildings.

The English Housing Survey (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. The EHS brings together two previous survey series into a single fieldwork operation: the English House Condition Survey (EHCS) (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33158) and the Survey of English Housing (SEH) (available under GN 33277). The EHS covers all housing tenures. The information obtained through the survey provides an accurate picture of people living in the dwelling, and their views on housing and their neighbourhoods. The survey is also used to inform the development and monitoring of the Ministry's housing policies. Results from the survey are also used by a wide range of other users including other government departments, local authorities, housing associations, landlords, academics, construction industry professionals, consultants, and the general public.

The EHS has a complex multi-stage methodology consisting of two main elements; an initial interview survey of around 12,000 households and a follow-up physical inspection. Some further elements are also periodically included in or derived from the EHS: for 2008 and 2009, a desk-based market valuation was conducted of a sub-sample of 8,000 dwellings (including vacant ones), but this was not carried out from 2010 onwards. A periodic follow-up survey of private landlords and agents (the Private Landlords Survey (PLS)) is conducted using information from the EHS interview survey. Fuel Poverty datasets are also available from 2003, created by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).

The EHS interview survey sample formed part of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS) (available from the Archive under GN 33420) from April 2008 to April 2011. During this period the core questions from the IHS formed part of the EHS questionnaire.

End User Licence and Special Licence Versions:
From 2014 data onwards, the End User Licence (EUL) versions of the EHS will only include derived variables. In addition the number of variables on the new EUL datasets has been reduced and disclosure control increased on certain remaining variables. New Special Licence versions of the EHS will be deposited later in the year, which will be of a similar nature to previous EHS EUL datasets and will include derived and raw datasets.

Further information about the EHS and the latest news, reports and tables can be found on the GOV.UK English Housing Survey web pages.

Further information about the EHS 2018-19 can be found in the GOV.UK English Housing Survey 2018 to 2019: headline report

The EHS consists of two components:

Interview Survey (Household)

An interview is first conducted with the householder. The interview topics include: household characteristics, satisfaction with the home and the area, disability and adaptations to the home, ownership and rental details and income details. All interviewees are guaranteed confidentiality and all data is anonymised. The 2018 EHS household survey data are held under SN 8669)..

Physical Survey (Housing Stock)

Where interviews were achieved (the full household sample), each year all rented properties and a sub-sample of owner occupied properties are regarded as eligible for the physical survey and the respondent's consent is sought. A proportion of vacant properties were also sub-sampled. For all physical survey cases, a visual inspection of the property, both internal and external is carried out by a qualified surveyor. This study (SN 8669) contains only the EHS 2018 Housing Stock data (covering 2017-19).

The number of housing units in the United States has grown year-on-year and in 2023, there were approximately 145 million homes. That was an increase of about 1.3 percent from the previous year - the highest annual increase recorded in the past 15 years. Homeownership in the U.S. Most of the housing stock in the U.S. is owner-occupied, meaning that the person who owns the home uses it as a primary residence. Homeownership is an integral part of the American Dream, with about two in three Americans living in an owner-occupied home. For older generations, the homeownership rate is even higher, showing that buying a home is an important milestone in life. Housing transactions slowing down During the coronavirus pandemic, the U.S. experienced a housing market boom and witnessed an increase in the number of homes sold. Since 2020, when the market peaked, new homes transactions have slowed down and so have the sales of existing homes. That has affected the development of home prices, with several states across the country experiencing a decline in house prices.
