Notes on Local Authority Housing Statistics (LAHS) open data

These datafiles contain the underlying data used to create the main LAHS tables and reflect the latest revisions to historical LAHS data. There will therefore be some minor discrepancies when compared to individual historical publications of LAHS tables.

LAHS questions are represented in this open data file by the question codes as recorded in the latest form (the 2022-23 return). This may differ from the code they were originally assigned, but the aim is to facilitate a time series analysis. Variables that have been discontinued are usually not included in this file, with only a few exceptions where they provide information that helps understand other data.
