🔵 Growth Areas – The blue-shaded sections on the map indicate an increase in private rented households. A rise in supply of rental properties, potentially driven by affordability, lifestyle changes, or an influx of tenants looking for flexibility.

⚪ Stable Areas – The cream-coloured zones represent little to no change in rental levels. Here, the balance between landlords, tenants, and owner-occupiers has remained steady over the decade.

🟠 Declining Areas – The peach-coloured regions highlight a drop in private rented households. This could be due to landlords selling up, shifting market conditions, or an increase in owner-occupation.
