Abstract
This dataset shows the count of all dwellings that are charged Council Tax and also classed as second homes, for August 2021. These statistics are presented for middle layer super output areas (MSOA) in Wales. They are calculated using council tax data supplied by the Welsh Local Authorities to ONS. The statistics were joined to the MSOA 2011 boundary layer to obtain the geometry of the boundary. Notes Note that data for Pembrokeshire and Swansea were not available at the time of publication. Some of the data has been suppressed. This is due to there being no second homes or fewer than five second homes for the selected geography. Chargeable dwellings are domestic dwellings in an area for which council tax is payable. It excludes dwellings which are exempt from paying council tax. Each chargeable dwelling is counted as one dwelling, whether or not a full council tax bill is payable for it. Counts of the number of chargeable empty and second homes, for each local authority in Wales, are published by Welsh Government (Chargeable empty and second homes, by year (number of dwellings) (gov.wales)). The WG figures differ from the ONS figures as they are based on an aggregate data collection at the beginning of the financial year and LAs make adjustments to estimate what is likely to happen in the upcoming year.  Counts for MSOAs may not equal that of the local authorities due to data suppression.
