Level Of Concern About Housing Is Highest In 40 Years

Concern about housing in Britain is at its highest level for 41 years, according to an Ipsos Mori poll. The data shows 5% more people are worried about the issue than in September. It has risen up two places on Ipsos Mori’s list of concerns in Britain today, behind immigration, the NHS and the economy, but just above unemployment and poverty/inequality. Twenty per cent of people interviewed were worried about housing, compared to 52% for immigration, 37% for the NHS and 26% for the economy. The political research company points out the concern over housing is “most stark when the results are looked at geographically”. Eight per cent of people surveyed in the north of England saw housing as an issue but 43% in London. Read more on the Ipsos Mori website.
