Rate : % of Households with sole use of a bath or shower

Rates are used to define comparative statistics that can be mapped and graphed. For example, our occupational information includes counts of the number of workers in employment and out of employment, as well as the total number of workers. We then define a measure called the 'Unemployment Rate', which uses the number out of work rather than the number in work, and expresses it as a percentage of the total, rather than a rate per thousand. The descriptive text in the system is defined mainly for rates.

Once the most over-crowded slums had been demolished, attention turned to 'amenities', especially those connected to hygiene and health. Every census from 1951 to 1991 lets us calculate the proportion of households who have sole use of a bath or shower.
