England and Wales Census 2021 - RM176: Gender identity by tenure

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 years and over in households in England and Wales, by gender identity and tenure. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

Particular care must be taken in interpreting census results on gender identity. Please read the Sexual orientation and gender identity quality information for Census 2021 before using this data. Read more about this quality notice.

There is evidence of people incorrectly identifying their type of landlord as ”Council or local authority” or “Housing association”. You should add these two categories together when analysing data that uses this variable. Read more about this quality notice.

Gender identity

  • with a mortgage or loan
  • part-owned on a shared ownership scheme

  • private rented, for example, rented through a private landlord or letting agent
  • social rented through a local council or housing association

This information is not available for household spaces with no usual residents.
