Ongoing Data in relation to vacant local authority owned homes is not routinely collated by my Department. Local authorities will always have a level of vacancy in their housing stock. Vacancy levels naturally vary over time, as tenancy surrender and re-letting of stock is a continuous and ongoing process.

Notwithstanding that, statistics in relation to social housing stock, at a point in time, are published by the National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) in their Annual Reports on Performance Indicators in Local Authorities. These reports provide a range of information in relation to social housing stock, including levels of vacancy and average turnaround times for reletting local authority owned properties. The most recent report, relating to 2023, is available on the NOAC website at the following link:
