A view of
assessed homes.

The source takes the latest valid domestic energy assessment for each home within April 2016 to March 2026. It describes homes with a qualifying certificate, rather than the entire housing stock.

A median score shows the middle of the reported assessment scores. The Band C or higher measure shows the share meeting that rating. Both can be compared for existing homes, new homes and different property types.

These differences between places do not measure improvement in the same buildings. An assessment may predate later work. Scotland and Northern Ireland are outside this release.
