在英国，人们越来越关注空置住宅的问题。他们不仅被认为是浪费宝贵的住房资源在住房需求大大超过供应的时候而且他们与他们所在社区的社会和环境问题有关。这一关切最终导致2004年《住房法》的颁布，该法允许地方当局强制使用空置住房，作为解决住房需求的一种方式。但是，尽管对英格兰空置住宅的数量有全国性的估计，但缺乏分区一级空置住宅的系统公布数据。本文介绍了一种方法，获得有关空置住宅的详细信息，利用议会税收记录。利兹的案例研究进行了报告，并与目前可用的住宅空置统计数据进行了比较。结果表明，这一数据源能够产生关于不同地理尺度空置的统计信息，并揭示地方一级空置住房的性质。
There is increasing political concern over the issue of empty dwellings in England. Not only are they perceived as a waste of valuable housing resources—at a time when housing demand greatly exceeds supply—but they are associated with social and environmental problems in the neighbourhoods in which they are situated. This concern has culminated in the enactment of the Housing Act 2004 which allows local authorities to force empty dwellings into use as a way of addressing housing need. But although there are national estimates for the number of empty dwellings in England there is a lack of systematically published data on empty homes at the subdistrict level. This paper describes a method of obtaining detailed information about empty dwellings that makes use of council-tax records. A case study for Leeds was undertaken and the results are reported and compared with residential vacancy statistics that are currently available. The results show that this data source is capable of producing statistical information on vacancy at various geographical scales and revealing the nature of empty dwellings at the local level.
