Formula: GHSP = 0.30 Γ (detached+semi)% + 0.25 Γ (100 β overcrowded%) + 0.25 Γ mains-gas% + 0.20 Γ (100 β no-car%). A higher score indicates a local authority with more spacious housing, lower overcrowding, stronger mains-gas connection, and higher car availability. National England & Wales baseline: 74/100.
