Rent/ Mortgage Payment amounts available- COVID-19 survey
50%
Description
Hello,
I'm just looking to check whether housing payments (rent/mortgage) are available in the COVID-19 survey? I can't find them in the variable search, but want to make sure I'm not just missing something.
Thank you!

Hello Mhairi,
There are a few variables related to rent and mortgages in the COVID-19 Survey. You can locate them using the COVID-19 variable search tool by searching for the concepts like "rent" and/or "mortgage."

However, more comprehensive household-related information should be taken from the Main Stage survey. You can link the COVID-19 data to the main UKHLS annual survey using the pidp variable, which is available in all datasets.
For more details, please refer to Section 10.7 of the COVID-19 User Guide: https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/documentation/user-guides/8644_covid_19_user_guide.pdf
I hope this information is helpful.
Best wishes,
Roberto Cavazos
