10. Housing Market Area Report (5) Charts and tables Charts and tables are added to ease understanding of the data and the comparisons

11. Data sources • Sources selected to allow mapping and analysis below LA level where possible • Population – Experian Population Projections, ONS Population Projections and experimental ethnicity data, ONS Land Area (COA) • Private Sector housing conditions – LA House Condition Surveys, BRE Stock Model, Experian tenure data, (COA) and VOA house type and age and DECC energy consumption (LSOA) • Housing Markets – Land Registry, CACI StreetValue (COA) • Housing; the built environment – Valuation Office Agency (LSOA), CLG Council Tax, LA Empty Property data (COA)

12. Data sources (2) • Vulnerable households – DWP benefits claimants (LSOA), CACI JSA Profile (COA) • Incomes – ASHE (LA), CACI PayCheck (COA), Experian Population 2009 (COA) • Improvement and assistance – Local Authorities (COA) • Housing demand – HSSA, Hi4em Affordable Housing Needs database, ASHE (LA), CACI PayCheck (COA) • Hi4em Affordable Housing Needs database uses the CLG Guidance for assessing housing need using secondary data. This should be used for comparison purposes and will differ from individual SHMA assessments which benefit from the inclusion of primary data and may not have included updated data.

13. Spatial distribution (mapping) • In the East Midlands: • 11 Housing Market Areas • 46 Local/County Authorities • 866 Wards • 2,732 Lower Super Output Areas • 14,105 Census Output Areas • In the Hi4em database • 938 Measures • = 247,000 Potential maps • Way beyond even our capacity!

14. Shopping List (mapping) • HMA Partnerships need to: • Review headline report • Compile a ‘shopping list’ of required maps • Shopping list = • Measures to be mapped across the HMA • Geographic level required – COA, LSOA or ward • Hi4em will supply maps and data tables for review

15. Neighbourhood reports • HMA Partnerships need to: • Review maps and data supplied • Determine neighbourhoods to be subject of Neighbourhood Reports • ‘Neighbourhoods’ can be wards, lower super output areas or any combination of census output areas • Hi4em will supply data reports for each neighbourhood similar to those supplied for data at HMA and LA levels

16. Other data sources • HCA has socio-economic and affordable housing development data • Existing plans, policies and strategies of LAs or HMA Partnerships are already backed by a wealth of evidence • Ward or neighbourhood profiles • Performance monitoring • Choice Based Lettings systems • Building Control • Property Management databases • Council Tax and Housing Benefit data

17. Limitations • Hi4em cannot supply all your data, mapping and analysis requirements • There will be gaps – Hi4em will attempt to locate data that may fill gaps and look to find a source of funding to purchase regionally if there is a cost attached • Hi4em are here to help you but please remember that not everything can be done at the touch of a button. We are a small but dedicated team of three – please be patient
