ID 2004: Modelled Probability of Poor Housing Condition in England

ID 2004 Housing in Poor Condition indicator provides modelled probabilities that dwellings in England fail the ODPM Decent Homes Standard. The data is published by the Office for National Statistics via Neighbourhood Statistics and is based on data from 2001, representing the 2004 time period. It is aggregated at the Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) geography level.

Use Cases

• Identify areas with high concentrations of substandard housing based on the modelled probability indicator.
• Analyze correlations between housing condition and other social deprivation metrics at the LSOA level.
• Support policy evaluation and resource allocation for housing improvement programs in England.
• Create geospatial visualizations of housing quality disparities across English regions.

Strengths

• Data has a specific geographic coverage of England and a defined temporal coverage for 2004.
• Data is modelled at a standardized Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) geography, enabling spatial analysis.
• The dataset is published under the OGL-UK-3.0 license, which permits open use.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is modelled and based on 2001 data for a 2004 indicator, which may limit current applicability.
