This domain measures the physical and financial accessibility of housing and key local services. The indicators fall into two sub-domains: 'geographical barriers', which relate to the physical proximity of local services, and 'wider barriers' which includes issues relating to access to housing such as affordability. Seven indicators are combined to calculate this domain:

• Sub-domain: Wider barriers

   - Homelessness ? the rate of acceptances for housing assistance under the homelessness provisions of the 1996 Housing Act (at local authority district level)
   - Difficulty of access to owner-occupation (local authority district level) ? proportion of households aged under 35 whose income means they are unable to afford to enter owner occupation.
  
• Sub-domain: Geographical barriers
   - Road distance to a GP surgery
   - Road distance to a supermarket or convenience store
   - Road distance to a primary school
   - Road distance to a Post Office
