Relevant Performance Indicators:
Primary Indicator - CD11 Average re-let time in days (standard re-lets in month)
Homes are vacant for longer between tenants while energy efficiency and renovation works are carried out. A very small number of homes that had been unoccupied for some time are being brought back into use, which skews this measure upwards. Benchmarking across local authority landlords at the end of Q3 places North Yorkshire in the fourth quartile. Average re-let times increased from October (135.00 days) to December (142.07 days)
Benchmarking Data – 2024/25: Q2: 90.62 Q1: 73.52 2023/24 52.1 days 2022/23 51.9 days 2021/22 43.5 days
Primary Indicator - CD19 Households assessed as homeless per 1000 households
The proportion of households that were assessed and found to be homeless in Q3 was smaller than the previous quarter but above last year’s Q3 level. 347 households were accepted as homeless between October and December 2024, down from 414 in Q2. The household total is based on the latest ONS projection, which estimates the number of households in each local authority area for a given year. (For 2024, this is 280,548.) This tends to exaggerate change between calendar years, i.e. between Q3 and Q4 each year. Regional and national data reporting lag: the latest comparison data show that in Q1 2024/25 North Yorkshire’s rate was about two thirds of the mean for unitary authorities (2.00)
