The most recent English Housing Survey (EHS) found that on average households in the private rented sector spent 33% of their income on rent in 2021-22. Due to sample size, the EHS cannot give robust information on Birmingham specifically.
The Department continues to monitor private rented sector market data, including for Birmingham.
