Thank you for your enquiry.
For data from 2012 to 2019, the ONS does not hold detailed data for all social housing units in England and Wales.
For data from 2011, this was collected as part of Census 2011. Data from the census is publicly available on the Nomis website, including the number of social housing units in each LSOA (Table ID KS402EW).
If this does not meet your requirements, we may be available to commission bespoke analysis. Such services would be subject to legal frameworks, disclosure controls, resources and agreement of costs. If you would like to request this bespoke dataset, please contact census.customerservices@ons.gov.uk, to discuss your enquiry further. Please note, there may be a charge for this work which would be subject to our charging policy.
For more recent data, the ONS publishes Subnational estimates of dwellings and households by tenure in England, giving estimates at local authority level. This publication is due to be updated on 31 January 2022.
If you want more information about social housing in England, the Regulator of Social Housing produce statistics relating to social housing.
