Westminster – Housing Needs Assessment 2006Grossing-upConverting the numbers of actual responses in a social survey to an estimate of the number for thewhole population.

This is equal to the number of households existing at the end of the year which did not exist asseparate households at the beginning of the year (not counting ‘successor’ households, when theformer head of household dies or departs).Housing market areaThe geographical area in which a substantial majority of the employed population both live andwork, and where most of those changing home without changing employment choose to stay.Housing needThe situation in which households lack their own housing or are living in housing which isinadequate or unsuitable and who are unlikely to be able to meet their needs in the housing marketwithout some assistance.Housing RegisterA database of all individuals or households who have applied to a LA or RSL for a social tenancyor access to some other form of affordable housing.
