In many parts of Wales, there are few issues more divisive than second homes and their effect on communities.
There were 24,873 registered for council tax purposes in January 2021.
Many are near the coast and Gwynedd has the highest number with 5,098. Pembrokeshire has 4,068, Cardiff 3,477, Anglesey 2,139 and there are 2,104 in Swansea.
Ahead of the Senedd elections, we asked what people would change - and a number were concerned about second homes.
In some holiday areas, it is claimed their popularity is pricing local people out of the housing market, and reducing the opportunity for them to rent locally.
