Why Calstock homes score as they do
Age of the housing
About 45% of Calstock's homes date from before 1919 (VOA) and 7% from 2000 or later. Across the South East Cornwall constituency, homes built before 1929 have a median score of 52, with 11% at C or above; those built since 2012 reach 84.
Heating: largely off mains gas
Of Calstock's 347 households, 8% relied on mains gas alone in the 2021 Census. Other single fuels: electricity 28%, oil 24%, bottled or tank gas (LPG) 8%, wood or solid fuel 6%, renewables such as heat pumps 4%. 18% combined more than one, and 4% had no central heating. Because the rating reflects estimated fuel bills, off-gas homes often need better insulation or a heat pump to reach C.
Type of home
Calstock is 36% semi-detached, 28% detached, 27% terraced, 9% flats by Census 2021 count. Flats tend to score best (England median 74) because they share walls; semi-detached homes sit at 67.
