These statistics are based on data from the LADR. This return, which was collected by the RSH for the first time in 2020, collects data on stock size, types, location and rents as at 31 March. All registered local authority providers of social housing in England are required to complete the LADR, providing the regulator with data on stock and rent levels in order that it may regulate social housing rents.

Prior to 2020, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (formerly MHCLG) published similar statistics on stock and rents for local authorities based on data collected through their Local Authority Housing Statistic. The differences in collection methodology between the LADR and LAHS and the statistical methodology employed between MHCLG, DLUHC and RSH statistical releases are explored in detail in the technical notes.
