The number of second homes in Wales forecast as being liable for council tax is reported on StatsWales. The estimated number for 2023-24 is 24,170 (1.7% of all chargeable homes).
Census 2021 collected information on people using a second address for more than 30 days a year. Data on the location and purpose of these second addresses will be published by ONS on 20 June.
