Fuel Poverty in England: sub-regional

Dataset

Documentation

Description:
Modelled sub-regional estimates of households in fuel poverty using the official Low Income Low Energy Efficiency (LILEE) definition (households with low income and living in dwellings of energy efficiency band D–G). The output gives estimated fuel-poverty rates for Output Areas which are then aggregated to Local Authority and other geographies. These sub-regional figures are described as “official statistics in development” and are intended for broad comparison and trend-spotting rather than precise small-area time-series.
