Data Change: U.K. subnational - Res starts and completions - Overhaul
Tuesday, 26 Jun 2018 03:05 ET
By Victoria Donu
Summary
June 2018 -- We have overhauled our extract of housebuilding starts and completions for subnational areas (under NUTS and ONS geo classifications) in the U.K. (2,996 new quarterly and annual series from 1978).
Detail

We have overhauled the dataset by:

  • Verifying geo codes.
  • Re-extracting all historical periods.

Dataset properties are:

  • Figures: Unitary count of dwellings (#)
  • Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
  • Frequency: Quarterly or annual(March)
  • Start date: As early as 1978Q1 or 1981
  • Geo coverage:
    • Eurostat:
      • NUTS 1 areas, 9, geo code pattern IGBR_aaaa
      • LAU (2013) level 1 areas, 330, IGBR_E0n000nnn
    • ONS areas:
      • Country, 4, IGBR_aaaa
      • Country-level aggregate, 2, IGBR_X and IGBR_ENGW
      • Region, 9, IGBR_aaaa
      • County, 27, IGBR_E100000nn
      • Local authority district, LAD, 391, IGBR_Enn000nnn
  • Do all concept-geo pairs exist? No
  • Source:
    • Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG)

The series reside in the historical catalog (United Kingdom » Real estate » Residential » Stage of construction » Quarterly | Annual) and include, for example:

  • HSQSTRTRUQ.IGBR_E06000042 = Permanent dwellings started - for Milton Keynes [LAU 1]
  • HSQSTRTRUA.IGBR_20UG      = for Sedgefield [district]
  • HSQCMPTRRSLUQ.IGBR_X      = Permanent dwellings completed - Registered social landlords - For Great Britain (U.K. excl. Northern Ireland)
  • HSQCMPTRUA.IGBR_SOEA      = for South East [region]

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.

Please be aware that

The annual series have subfrequency annual(March) because the source aggregates Q2, Q3, Q4 (of one calendar year) and Q1 (of the next calendar year).
