Houseboats

Houseboat and caravan dwellers form part of our local housing market.

This dataset aims to bring together some information to help us see the scale of the issue in our local area.

Cambridge East Cambridgeshire Fenland Huntingdonshire South Cambridgeshire Forest Heath St Edmundsbury Peterborough This data is simply a starting point, being launched in April 2017, and at this stage is looking to bring existing data together to shed some light on the scale of this part of our housing market.

There are two source of data: 1. Council Tax records identifying the number of houseboat dwellers in 2015 and 2016. 2. A web search for local marinas and moorings in the local area, undertaken in April 2017.

We are very pleased to have now uploaded geo-coded data on the location of some of the marinas and moorings across the area, and hope to add more data and maps in future.
