The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will publish a lookup table matching census Output Areas to Broad Rental Market Areas.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The government has no plans to publish a lookup table matching census Output Areas to Broad Rental Market Areas.

The Broad Rental Market Areas for a specific postcode or local authority area can be found using the Valuation Office Agency’s LHA Direct search. This can be found here.
