Data Change: U.K. subnational - Dwelling stock by tenure
Thursday, 05 Oct 2017 10:34 ET
By Michaela Dvorakova
Summary
October 2017 -- For dwelling stock in the U.K., Data Buffet has added "other public sector dwellings" (one new annual series, from 1991). The source has terminated series for Northern Ireland (five annual series 1971-2014, discontinued).
Detail

The changes are:

  • Added one series, to facilitate additivity verification.
  • Discontinued five series (1971 to 2014), for Northern Ireland.
  • Altered the "observed" attribute for 16 series, from AVERAGE to END.

These series are annual, but the measurement point of the housing census has changed repeatedly (see Mnemonic 411; full details are footnoted in the source's data files). An "observed" attribute of END makes the most sense, but even so, conversion to a higher frequency (i.e., disaggregation) may produce strange results.

The series reside in the historical catalog (United Kingdom » Real Estate » Residential » Dwelling stock » by Tenure) and include, for example:

  • HSQSTKDOWOUA.IGBR_NOIR = [DISCONTINUED] Dwelling stock - Owner occupied, (Ths. #) - for Northern Ireland
  • HSQSTKDOWOUA.IGBR_WALS = Dwelling stock - Owner occupied, (Ths. #) - for Wales
  • HSQSTKDPBOUA.IGBR      = Dwelling stock - Other public sector dwellings, (Ths. #) - for U.K.

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
