Between April 2012 and March 2020, there were 70,378 new social lettings to households containing someone who has served in the UK Armed Forces. From April 2016 this includes reservists. We do not have data on Armed Forces service for lettings before April 2012. The proportion of new social lets to households containing someone who has served in the UK Armed Forces has remained between 2-3% throughout this period.
