SR482 Housing condition and occupant wellbeing: Findings from the Pilot Housing Survey and General Social Survey 2018/19 (2023)

The aim of the analysis was to determine any links between independently rated housing conditions from the PHS and the occupants’ self-reported levels of health and wellbeing from the GSS. Key indicators analysed include the overall state of repair of the dwelling, the average condition of the interior and exterior, presence of visible mould in the house and presence of heating appliances and insulation.
