What this measures
Households in temporary accommodation at the end of the quarter, split by what that accommodation is: bed and breakfast, nightly paid privately managed rooms, hostels, private sector homes, the council's or a housing association's own stock, or another arrangement. Each figure is rounded to the nearest 10, so the types sum to the total only within rounding.
The suitability or condition of the accommodation, how long households have been there, or where it is — a household counted by its own council can be housed in another council's area.
