This Briefing Paper describes the spatial pattern of housing association rents across England in the first year of the rent restructuring regime.
It examines the extent to which housing associations' current average rents for given property sizes differ within each local authority area; whether there is a geographical pattern in these differences across the country; whether rents within each property size are converging; and whether the observed pattern of rents is directly related to a number of other factors unaffected by the rent restructuring formula.
