Affordable housing Register statistics
Our register has been running for a couple years, and on this page you can find some of the headline data which is based on the information people have provided. The data shows no personal information, but demonstrates interest levels in self-build across the Shropshire Council area along the lines of:
- Areas of interest
- Ages of those interested
- Build sizes of interest
It can be freely used by anyone with an interest and includes data that has previously been required within freedom of information requests.
An explanation of the terms used in the statistics below is found on the definitions webpage.
Below is the data for the base periods to date. Due to our Vanguard status, registration started earlier than the start date of base period 1.
