What is this about?
This indicator measures net additions to the supply of housing in Jersey, including public and private buildings; conversions of existing buildings to housing use; and the refurbishment of existing dwellings.
As the indicator measures net additions, it is important to take into account the impact of large scale projects, such as the regeneration of housing estates, which can entail short-term loss of units. In 2015, for example, 442 new units were built but 111 existing units were removed from the stock - resulting in a net gain of 331 units.
In 2019, a net figure of 441 new units were completed, including 135 houses and 295 apartments. This was the second largest net addition to Jersey's housing stock since 2011, with only eight units being removed from existing stock.
