Description

I am looking at wave 11 responses in the hhresp table for the breakdown of housing tenure (tenure_dv) at the household level.

The screenshots attached include the % of each category (unweighted and weighted using "hhdenui_xw").

Comparing these figures with census results for tenure status in England and Wales (% of households by tenure), it appears that the number of private renters (in USoc "Rented private unfurnished" and "Rented private furnished" appears to be under represented (11.7% when weighted) relative to the census figures for England and Wales in 2021 (20.3%). I have tried limiting the USoc sample to just England and Wales household, but it does not materially change the results.

Link to census data here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/housing/bulletins/housingenglandandwales/census2021

Any info on why I may be finding this discrepancy would be very much appreciated.
