Proportion Of PRS Households Remains Unchanged

The Government has published headline findings from the 2019 English Housing Survey (EHS), which shows that the proportion of private rented sector (PRS) households remained steady for the sixth consecutive year at 19 percent or 4.6 million households. A demographic breakdown confirmed that while the proportion of 25-34 year olds living in the PRS declined from highs of 48 percent in 2013-14 to 41 percent in 2018-19, the proportion of 55-64 year olds relying on the sector increased by three percentage points in the last decade, to 10 percent in 2018-19.
