Data sources

Every figure, traceable to source.

We don’t guess. A Housometer report is built from official UK datasets — most of them public, under the Open Government Licence — and we cite each one so you can check our working.

The official sources we use.

What each dataset powers in your report, and the licence it’s used under.
