<p>The tables below show the number of households capped under Housing Benefit in
the requested geographical areas for the year 2017 and January to November 2018 (the
latest published data). The figures do not show the total number of households capped
in these areas as the benefit cap can also be applied to Universal Credit awards.
Please note that figures have been rounded to protect data confidentiality.</p><p>
