Housing need and demand
The Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA) estimates the future number of additional homes required to meet existing and future housing need and demand. Its purpose is to provide a robust, shared and agreed evidence base for housing policy and land use planning to ensure that Local Development Plans and Local Housing Strategies are based on a common understanding of existing and future housing requirements. It provides a wide range of information and statistics on population, household and economic trends and reviews the current housing stock, house prices and trends in the housing market. It also examines housing requirements of specific household groups such as older people, those with disabilities, Gypsy/Travellers and homeless households.
The Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Housing Need and Demand Assessment 2023 (PDF 4.9MB) was published in January 2024. The Centre for Housing Market Analysis provides additional information about Housing Need and Demand Assessments and other housing market statistics.
