You asked
Please could you tell me what evaluation tools are used by your local authorities to understand the housing market.
I would be most grateful if you could help, or send me infomation related to the above.
We said
We do not hold information about the specific evaluation tools used by different local authorities. However, local authorities do refer to our housing affordability statistics during the preparation of their objectively assessed housing needs plans.
In addition, we also publish population estimates by age and sex at the local authority level.
