Warrington's homes, by the numbers
Warrington in the 2021 census: 90,539 households, 88% houses, 12% flats.
Two numbers carry this area: 68.7% of households own their home and 40.3% of dwellings are semi-detached, giving a stock that is owner-controlled and largely of one build type. Owners specify for the long run, which moves the conversation towards engineered board, solid wood and an underlay matched to the covering rather than to the lowest price. A semi has one shared wall, so a resilient layer beneath a hard floor upstairs remains worth the money even where nothing obliges it. Coverage spans WA1, WA2, WA4, WA5 and WA55, taking in Latchford East, Latchford West, Fairfield and Howley, Bewsey and Whitecross, Grappenhall, Appleton, Great Sankey North and Whittle Hall, Great Sankey South, Lymm North and Thelwall, and Lymm South.
Seven homes in ten in Warrington are owner-occupied, and the housing stock is weighted to semi-detached and detached houses at Great Sankey, Chapelford, Old Hall, Appleton and Grappenhall. Much of it has had the kitchen opened into the dining room, so one floor now runs under both.
Where the kitchen has been opened into the dining room, one floor now crosses a wet zone. In front of a sink, under a dishwasher and around a fridge with a water line, small leaks happen slowly and are found late.
