Welsh House Condition Survey 1998

The aim of the 1998 Welsh House Condition Survey (WHCS) was to assess the Welsh housing stock in terms of its state of repair and the prevalence of unfitness. Similar surveys have been carried out in Wales since 1968, the latest two were in 1993 and 1986. Similar surveys are also carried out in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The 1998 WHCS was designed to produce results for Wales as a whole and for individual unitary authorities in Wales.
