Moving around Durham: the homes
In the 2021 Census the most common home type in the County Durham council area was semi-detached houses (38.2% of households), so drivers there are used to that kind of access. Tell them about stairs, narrow hallways and parking so they can plan the job.

Across the County Durham council area, 62.5% of households are owner-occupied, 20.0% are socially rented and 17.1% are privately rented (Census 2021). 24.1% of households have no car or van, which is worth knowing when you plan where the van will stop.
