In temporary accommodation in South Derbyshire on 31 December 2025

14 children were living in those 12 households.

That is 0.2 households in temporary accommodation for every 1,000 households in the area, of which there are about 50,436. The rate across England was 5.5.

That is the 152nd-highest rate of the 162 district councils in the table.

That is 6 fewer than on 30 September 2025, when it was 18.

Households in temporary accommodation for every 1,000 households in the area, which is the publisher’s own figure. Councils are compared with councils of their own kind — the table’s only classification is the ONS code — because a London borough beside a rural district is arithmetic without meaning. Councils that did not return data are absent from the ranking rather than counted as nil.

April to June 2025 is missing from this table. MHCLG published that quarter in a spreadsheet format this pipeline cannot read, so we do not hold it. It is a gap in our record, not a quarter in which nothing was counted, and any comparison on this page names the quarter it actually used.

Each row is a count on one day at the end of the quarter, not a total for the quarter, and it counts households rather than people. A council that did not return data is shown as such; it is never read as nil.

The average price of a home

The average price of a home in South Derbyshire in July 2026 was £261,544 — 4.7% higher than in July 2025, when it was £249,897. Land Registry may still restate the July 2026 figure.

That was the 190th-highest average price of the 349 local authorities in Great Britain the index covered in July 2026.

That is the highest average price recorded there in a series that starts in January 1995.

The average across England that month was £293,479.

Land Registry recalculates the previous twelve months at every release as transactions are registered late, so July 2026 is provisional and will very likely be restated. Every restatement we catch is in our corrections log.

The +4.7% is Land Registry's own 12-month figure, worked out before the monthly averages are rounded to the pound. Dividing the two rounded prices above gives the same +4.7%.

The UK House Price Index average price is modelled from registered transactions and rebased as an index; it is not the mean of what sold in the area that month, and no individual home need have changed hands at it.

People claiming unemployment-related benefits

Claiming unemployment-related benefits in South Derbyshire, August 2026

That is 2.3 per cent of the area’s residents aged 16 to 64: 1,705 claimants against an estimated 73,547 residents of that age in 2026, which is the denominator the publisher divides by.

That is the joint 288th-highest rate of the 361 local authorities in the United Kingdom.

That is 35 more than in August 2025, when it was 1,670 — a change of 2 per cent.

The claimant count is people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance, or Universal Credit while required to look for work. It is not a count of unemployed people and the Office for National Statistics does not present it as one. Local authority counts are rounded to the nearest five by the publisher, so a difference of five is not a difference. This series is not seasonally adjusted at local authority level, so it is compared with the same month a year earlier rather than with the month before.

Claimants as a proportion of residents aged 16 to 64, which is the publisher’s own rate. Every local authority in the United Kingdom is in this ranking, because the rate is already a proportion of the resident population. An authority with no rate published for the month is absent from it rather than counted as nil.
