deteriorating, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-07.
Households in temporary accommodation in the East Riding of Yorkshire rose to 283 in the first quarter of 2026, when 165 households were owed a relief duty. Rents rose in every reading: a two-bedroom home cost £636 a month in March 2026, £644 in April, £647 in May and £650 in June. The average house price rose from £220,127 in May to £220,721 in June. More households in temporary accommodation alongside rents and prices both rising is a consistent picture of a tightening market.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about East Riding of Yorkshire. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.

These figures carry no defensible direction of their own: a rising house price is good news to an owner and bad news to someone trying to buy, so we do not score one as an improvement. They are shown because they are part of the picture, and they did not decide the view above.
