Definitions and data sources
The graph shows the proportion of homes deemed to be 'non-decent' by local authority.
'Non-decent' homes are those which do not meet the government's standard for 'decent homes' whereby housing should: be above the statutory minimum standard (i.e. be fit for habitation); be in a reasonable state of repair; provide reasonably modern facilities and services; and provide a reasonable degree of thermal comfort.
The data source is the 2001 House Condition Survey, with the data obtained via the Northern Ireland Neighbourhood Information Service.
