Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development to detail the number of single people on the housing waiting list aged (i) 18-21; (ii) 22-31; (iii) 32-41; (iv) 42-55; (v) 56-65; and (iv) over 65 broken down by gender, in each constituency.

Answer:

The information is not available in the format requested because the Housing Executive does not record the number of single people on the waiting list by the age groups requested. However, the table below has been prepared based on age groups according to the Housing Executive’s Household Composition procedures which categorise households as under 18, 18-25, 26-59 & 60+.

The table also shows the Waiting List as at 30 September 2015 broken down by single person household types, age group and gender. It is important to point out that the Housing Executive’s method of categorising households over 60 means that this figure will contain a small number of households that have a second person aged 16 or over.

In relation to parliamentary constituencies, a number of Housing Executive Common Landlord Areas (CLAs) overlap parliamentary constituency boundaries, which are detailed in the table below.
