The rental data for local authority dwellings included in the consumer price index relate to the figures for total weekly rent, including rates, of all occupied rented dwellings. The rent inquiry is made at mid-November each year. Data for 1971 are therefore not yet available. The following statement shows for each county, county borough and for Dún Laoghaire Borough the number of occupied rented local authority dwellings, together with the average weekly rent, including rates, for which data were included in the consumer price index for November, 1970.
