Dear David,
Apologies for the delay in responding. We do not currently provide a summary measure of housing/mortgage costs. If such a measure were available it would be included in the _hhresp data files (all derived variables are included at the bottom of the data files). (xwavedat is reserved for characteristics of the individual that do not change over time). You would have to derive this yourself by drawing on the information provided in _hhresp over the years. Please let us know if you would be happy to share your code with us.
I think issue #559 is a duplicate of this post? I will remove it for clarity.
Best wishes, Victoria.
