Stevenage's homes, by the numbers
Stevenage in the 2021 census: 36,513 households, 78% houses, 22% flats.
Almost half of Stevenage lives in a terraced house, the highest share of any town we cover, and a further one household in five in a purpose-built flat. That is the New Town plan still showing in the figures, and it means most floors here go into a party-walled home.
Stevenage is Britain’s first New Town, its neighbourhood estates, Bedwell, Shephall, Chells and Broadwater, built for practical family living, alongside a medieval Old Town high street with period charm. Housing is largely mid-century semis and terraces plus modern developments, drawing commuter families who value durable, affordable, good-looking flooring.
Social renting runs at one household in four, well above the county, and private renting has risen from one in nine to nearly one in six. Between them that is four households in ten where the floor is specified by somebody who will not live with it — and where the fit has to survive a handover inspection.
