Housing

South Derbyshire is the sixth fastest-growing local authority area in England, with a population of approximately 91,000 (ONS mid 2007 estimate), meaning approximately 37,000 households who need somewhere to live.

South Derbyshire's housing stock is currently mostly low-rise semi-detached and detached family homes.

Approximately 9.5% of South Derbyshire's housing is rented accommodation provided by social landlords; either the council or housing associations.
