- Housing affordability indicators have changed sources, from ‘Land Registry’ to ‘ONS House Price Statistics for Small Areas’ or ‘ONS Income Estimates; ONS House Price Statistics for Small Areas’
- Income estimates are now expressed as annual income rather than weekly income because ONS now publish the statistics as annual estimates.
- Housing affordability indicators’ methodology has been tweaked so it’s consistent with ONS
