LONDON-The annual 2001 compendium of statistics covering all aspects of housing shows that the number of dwellings in England has increased 7% on 1991.

According to surveys of local authorities and central Government, at the end of March 2001 there were 21.1 million dwellings in England, an increase of 1.46 million, or 7%, on the number at the end of March 1991. Some 14.8 million, or seven out of ten, were owner occupied and 4.2 million, about one fifth, were rented from a local authority or a registered social landlord. The remaining 2.2 million were rented privately.

New dwellings completed in England during the financial year ending 31 March 2001 number 135,000. Of these, 117,000–or nearly 9 out of every 10–were built for owner occupation with nearly all the remainder being built for registered social landlords.
