Continuous Recording of Social Housing Lettings (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>Further information may be found on the GOV.UK <a title="Social housing lettings" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/rents-lettings-and-tenancies">Social housing lettings</a> and <a title="Social housing sales" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/social-housing-sales-including-right-to-buy-and-transfers">Social housing sales</a> webpages.</div><div><br></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 9237: Continuous Recording of Social Housing Lettings (CORE)</span>:</p><p>This study contains the EUL-level CORE Lettings data only. The EUL CORE Sales data are held under SN 9238.</p>

<div>《<span style="font-style: italic;">租赁与销售持续记录</span>》（COntinuous REcording of Lettings and Sales，CORE）是一个国家信息源，提供社会住房存量新租赁和销售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提供商及地方当局新社会住房租户的特征信息，以及他们租住房屋的相关信息。每年，数据根据租赁类型（社会租赁一般需求、社会租赁支持需求、经济适用租赁一般需求、经济适用租赁支持需求）分为四个数据集。注册于住房和社区局的提供商需依法提交数据，未注册者自愿提交。地方当局自2004-2005年度起自愿参与CORE。针对地方当局的社会租赁数据集，采用加权法调整无响应情况；针对地方当局和私人注册提供商租户特征的关键数据项级无响应问题，则进行插补处理。经济适用租赁的三个数据集未进行加权或插补。</li>
<li>CORE销售数据包含地方当局住宅销售信息，以及注册提供商存量（曾称为注册社会房东或住房协会）销售的部分摘要细节。收集这些数据有助于更好地理解经济适用住房客户的社会经济与人口构成，以及当地住房市场和产品情况。销售数据集经过插补处理，更多插补信息详见数据字典。</li>
</ul>
<div>CORE数据被中央政府用于制定国家住房政策，被地方政府用于战略住房市场评估，也被学者、研究人员、慈善机构及公众用于理解社会住房相关问题。</div>
<div>更多信息可在GOV.UK网站的《社会住房租赁》（Social housing lettings）和《社会住房销售》（Social housing sales）网页上获取。</div>
<div>用户需注意，租赁和销售数据目前在各访问级别下分为独立数据集（见下文）。此前，这些数据被纳入合并研究（SNs 7603、7604及7686），该合并研究现已撤销。</div>
<div><span style="font-weight: bold;">最终用户许可、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>标准最终用户许可（End User Licence，EUL）版本（SNs 9237及9238）：地理级别为政府办公区域（Government Office Region，GOR）。租赁和空置日期仅提供年月信息；年龄变量采用90岁封顶编码；收入、福利、薪资、费用及缺口变量按区间分组以隐藏唯一值；房东被划分为编码类别。</li>
<li>特殊许可（Special Licence，SL）版本（SNs 9239及9240）：地理级别为地方当局。SL数据的访问条件比标准EUL版本更为严格。潜在用户需填写额外申请表，并向数据所有者明确说明为何需要访问额外变量，以获得使用许可。</li>
<li>安全访问版本（SNs 9241及9242）：可获取完整CORE数据集，部分关键变量已重新编码。潜在用户需满足额外要求，包括完成面对面培训及同意更严格的访问条件。</li>
</ul>
