*    Figures in italics are based on incomplete figures provided by local authorities and are, therefore, lower than actual totals
Regional totals as supplied by DCLG may differ from individual boroughs due to additional cross-referencing with other bodies such as Government  departments and the Housing Corporation
Regional totals have been grossed for missing values
Notes:
1  Each year the Department for Communities and Local Government collects data on the number of empty homes from each local authority in England and from other Government departments and bodies - HSSA Statistics.
2   'Local council' is the local authority, e.g. borough council, district council, metropolitan borough council; 'housing associations' are organisations which provide social housing; 'other public body' refers to Government departments and organisations such as the NHS, Highways Agency, Ministry of Defence, etc; 'private landlords' can be individuals or private developers
LA data are reported figures. # indicates figure not supplied.Regions' totals include estimated values for missing data.Hence summing LA figures would not yield region's figure. England total is sum of all regions' figures with estimates. "-" indicates not applicable or non-derivable.".." indicates not available
