Broad Rental Market Areas (BRMA) lookups

BRMA_lookups.7z (2010 / 2012) The accompanying files contain look-ups from two common British geographic systems, local authorities and postcode sectors, to the Broad Rental Market Areas (BRMA) that are defined for the administration of Housing Benefit for private tenants. They allow data that is coded by local authority or postcode sector to be linked to data that is coded by BRMA, such as the current or historic maximum rates of Housing Benefit payable. They are suitable for use in policy analysis and simulations where the maximum amounts of benefit a claimant in a specific place is entitled to needs to be known.
