Continuous Recording of Social Housing Sales (CORE), 2007/08-2021/22

<div>The <span style="font-style: italic;">COntinuous REcording of Lettings and Sales</span> (CORE) is a national information source that provides annual official statistics on new lettings and sales of social housing stock. All datasets are based on administrative data collected via the government's CORE system.</div>
<ul>
<li>The CORE lettings data include information on the characteristics of both private registered providers and local authority new social housing tenants and the homes they rent. For each year, data is structured into four datasets based on type of letting (social rent general needs and supported needs, and affordable rent general needs and supported needs). It is a regulatory requirement for providers registered with the Homes and Communities Agency to supply the data. For those who are not registered, submissions are voluntary. Local authorities have participated in CORE since 2004-5 on a voluntary basis. Weighting is applied to adjust for non-response by local authorities for social rent datasets, and imputation is also carried out to address item-level non-response of key data on tenant characteristics for both local authorities and privately registered providers. The three datasets for affordable rent are not weighted or imputed. </li>
<li>The CORE sales data include information on sales of local authority dwellings and some summary details on sales of registered provider stock (previously known as Registered Social Landlords or housing associations). Collecting these data allows for a better understanding of the socio-economic and demographic make-up of affordable housing customers and local housing markets and products. The sales dataset is imputed, with more information on the imputations within the data dictionary.</li>
</ul>
<div>The CORE data are used by central government to inform national housing policy and by local government to inform their Strategic Housing Market Assessments. The data are also used by academics, researchers, charities and the wider public to understand social housing issues.</div>

<div>Users should note that the Lettings and Sales data are now held in separate datasets at each access level (see below). Previously, they were held in combined studies, SNs 7603, 7604 and 7686, which have now been withdrawn.</div><div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-weight: bold;">End User Licence, Special Licence and Secure Access datasets</span></div>
<div>The CORE datasets are available at three access levels, depending on the level of detail in the data.</div>
<ul>
<li>For the standard End User Licence (EUL) version (SNs 9237 and 9238), the geographic level of the data is set at Government Office Region (GOR). Letting and voiding dates are provided at month and year only; age variables are top-coded at 90 years; income, benefits, earnings, charge and shortfall variables are banded to disguise unique values; landlords are grouped into coded categories.</li>
<li>For the Special Licence access (SL) version (SNs 9239 and 9240), geographic level is set at Local Authority. The SL data have more restrictive access conditions than those made available under the standard EUL. Prospective users of the SL version will need to complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables in order to get permission to use that version.</li>
<li>For Secure Access (SNs 9241 and 9242), the full CORE datasets are available, with some key variables recoded. Prospective users of the Secure Access version will need to fulfil additional requirements, including completion of face-to-face training and agreement to further stringent access conditions.</li></ul> <p><span style="font-style: italic;">SN 9238: Continuous Recording of Social Housing Sales (CORE)</span>:</p><p>This study contains the EUL-level CORE Sales data only.

<div>《<span style="font-style: italic;">住房租赁与销售持续记录</span>》（CORE）是国家级信息源，提供社会住房存量新租赁与销售情况的年度官方统计数据。所有数据集均基于通过政府CORE系统收集的行政数据。</div><ul><li>CORE租赁数据包含私人注册供应商及地方当局新社会住房租户的特征信息，以及他们所租房屋的详情。每年，数据根据租赁类型（社会租赁一般需求与支持需求、可负担租赁一般需求与支持需求）分为四个数据集。向住房与社区局注册的供应商需依法提供数据，未注册者则自愿提交。地方当局自2004-2005年度起自愿参与CORE。针对社会租赁数据集，采用加权法调整地方当局的无响应情况；针对地方当局和私人注册供应商租户特征关键数据的项级无响应，也进行插补处理。可负担租赁的三个数据集未实施加权或插补。</li><li>CORE销售数据包含地方当局住房销售信息，以及注册供应商存量房销售的部分汇总详情。收集这些数据有助于更好地理解可负担住房客户的社会经济与人口构成，以及地方住房市场与产品情况。销售数据集已进行插补，相关插补细节可查阅数据字典。</li></ul><div>CORE数据被中央政府用于制定国家住房政策，也被地方政府用于战略住房市场评估。学术界、研究人员、慈善机构及公众也可通过该数据了解社会住房相关问题。</div><div>更多信息可查阅英国政府网站（GOV.UK）的<a title="Social housing lettings" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/rents-lettings-and-tenancies">社会住房租赁</a>与<a title="Social housing sales" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/social-housing-sales-including-right-to-buy-and-transfers">社会住房销售</a>网页。</div><div><br></div><div>用户需注意，租赁与销售数据目前在各访问级别下均分为独立数据集（详见下文）。此前二者合并存于研究编号SN 7603、7604及7686中，现已停用。</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">终端用户许可、特殊许可与安全访问数据集</span></div><div>CORE数据集根据数据详细程度分为三个访问级别：</div><ul><li>标准终端用户许可（EUL）版本（SN 9237、9238）的地理级别为政府办公区域（GOR）。租赁与空置日期仅提供年月信息；年龄变量在90岁以上封顶编码；收入、福利、 earnings、费用及缺口变量采用分箱处理以隐藏唯一值；房东按编码类别分组。</li><li>特殊许可（SL）版本（SN 9239、9240）的地理级别为地方当局。SL数据的访问条件比标准EUL版本更严格。潜在用户需额外填写申请表，并向数据所有者明确说明需访问附加变量的原因，方可获得使用许可。</li><li>安全访问版本（SN 9241、9242）提供完整CORE数据集，但部分关键变量已重新编码。潜在用户需满足附加要求，包括完成面对面培训及同意更严格的访问条件。</li></ul><p><span style="font-style: italic;">SN 9238：社会住房销售持续记录（CORE）</span>：</p><p>本研究仅包含EUL级别的CORE销售数据。EUL级别的CORE租赁数据则存于SN 9238中。</p>
