| Annotation | In 2011, there were some 6.5 million older people living in owner-occupied homes in England. Of these, around 5.7 million owned their home outright, the remainder owning with a mortgage or some form of shared ownership. This report uses data from the 2011 Census and Wave 3 of Understanding Society (the UK Household Longitudinal Study, UKHLS), a nationally representative panel survey, to provide a description of the housing wealth, outcomes and lives of older homeowners; and to describe older homeowners in relation to key housing policy outcomes. The report examines the older population in relation tenure; and considers older owners' housing characteristics and living situation. It looks at older owners in relation to their income and economic activity, also issues of disability, health and caring. It considers older owners' attitudes to their neighbourhood, and the extent of any problems with their local environment and services. Lastly, their moving plans and preferences are described. Another report, 'Open plan: building a strategic policy toward older owners', considers the implications of the research findings for policy development. Publication of this report has been supported by Hanover Housing. (RH). |
