Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.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. The English Housing Survey, 2008: Fuel Poverty Dataset is derived from the 2008 EHS database created by the DCLG. This database is constructed from fieldwork carried out between April 2007 and March 2009. The midpoint of this period is April 2008, 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 2008. 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.

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).

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.

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 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 2014. All the data comes from DECC.

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.

The English Housing Survey, 2014: Fuel Poverty Dataset: Special Licence Access is derived from the 2014 EHS database created by the DCLG. This database is constructed from fieldwork carried out between April 2013 and March 2015. The midpoint of this period is April 2014, 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 2014.

The majority of fuel poverty variables are included in the dataset deposited at the UK Data Archive under the standard End User Licence (SN 8048). To comply with the data disclosure control guidance issued by the Government Statistical Service, supplementary fuel poverty variables are released under this Special Licence version, which is subject to more restrictive access conditions (see Access section below). Users are advised to obtain SN 8048 to see whether it is suitable for their needs before making an application for the Special Licence version.

Latest Edition Information
For the second edition (August 2017), the variable WallType has been updated. This change is connected to the recent changes to wall insulation variables in the corresponding Housing Stock data – further information can be found with study number 8068, English Housing Survey, 2014: Housing Stock Data: Special Licence Access.

These fuel poverty risk indicators provide users with a nuanced picture of the impact of various risk factors, exacerbating factors and indicators for fuel poverty. It was developed with the Assembly Health and Public Services Committee in their investigation into fuel poverty in London. The Committee's report explains how the tool could be used strategically to help organisations target specific wards that are at high risk of fuel poverty. Appendix 4 in the report set out the rationale for the risk factors present in the tool. Users can adjust the weighting of the indicators to show their relative significance. Isolating specific indicators could help organisations determine what type of support is likely to have greatest impact in an area. For example, wards with a low score for cavity wall insulation would indicate wards that could be targeted for promoting uptake of cavity wall insulation. Read Victoria Borwick's blog "Using public data to tackle fuel poverty - can you help?" The fuel poverty scores measure risk of fuel poverty based on 12 indicators. The England and Wales average each year is 0. Scores below 0 are more likely to be at risk from fuel poverty according to these measures. The indicators are: Housing Dwellings without central heating Cavity walls that are uninsulated Lofts with less than 150mm insulation Health Health Deprivation & Disability domain (ID2010) Standardised Mortality Ratio Incapacity Benefit claimant rate Older people People aged 60 and over Older people claiming pension credit Worklessness Unemployment Poverty Income Support claimant rate Child Poverty rates Households classified 'fuel poor' The Excel tool includes a ward map, charts and rankings. Note: Users must enable macros when prompted upon opening the spreadsheet (or reset security to medium/low) for the map to function. The rest of the tool will function without macros.

Number and percentage of properties with solid walls and those not connected to gas mains at Lower Super Output Area level. Data is taken from the rural fuel poverty study funded by Eaga Partnership Charitable Trust, and Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes. The report helped with quantifying rural fuel poverty across England, particularly in relation to hard-to-treat (HTT) homes. Data covers the whole of England. Spreadsheet also includes household in fuel poverty in 2003.

The data covers 2011 LSOA estimates for the number and percentage of households in fuel poverty for the Cambridge sub-region from 2008 to 2012. There are two ways to measure this; 10% income on fuel and high cost/low income model (2011 onwards) and the Cambridgeshire atlas | Fuel Poverty http://www.cambridgeshireinsight.org.uk/housing/existing-homes/fuel-poverty shows both of these.
