† Dwellings occupied by private families only were not identified at the 1911 Census and the increase (or decrease) shown here is the increase (or decrease) in total dwellings.

‡ The standard number of rooms has been obtained by multiplying the population in families of each size by densities (rooms per person).

§ Owing to changes of boundary ;during the intercensal period 1911-21, these figures are not available.

|| Comparative figures for the Parts of Holland and the Parts of Kesteven are not available.

¶ The change of boundary between the Counties of Gloucester and Somerset in the intercensal period 1911-21 was too small to affect comparative figures.
