In the published figures for 2022-23, there were 99,000 owner occupied households where the Household Reference Person (HRP) identified as Sikh. Within the rented sectors, there were 7000 private rented households and 15,000 social rented households where the HRP identified as Sikh.
In the published figures for 2022-23, there were 88,000 owner occupied households where the HRP identified as Jewish. Within the rented sectors there were 21,000 private rented households and 6000 social rented households where the HRP identified as Jewish.
The department does not hold information on the religion of households that are homeless or in temporary accommodation.
