Table type:

Raw Data

Documentation Author:

Humphrey Southall

Chronology:

The data are for the single year 1991.

Sources:

1. These data have been extracted from Table 57, 'Household space type; rooms and household size', in the 1991 Small Area Statistics. They were downloaded from the CASWEB system on January 14th, 2016.

Notes:

1. Note that these data are counts of households rather than of persons. The CASWEB system was checked fairly carefully for data giving numbers of persons in households living at different densities but they could not be found.
2. The zone_ID value, for England, contains four levels of geography. This example is taken from the RESTORE site:

   Areatype	County	District	Ward	Enumeration district
   Code	25	JQ	FF	11
   Full code	25	25JQ	25JQFF	25JQFF11
   Area name	Hampshire	Test Valley	Chilworth and Nursling	(Not named)
   Number	46	366	8985	106865
   Mean population	954807	122612	4995	420

3. In March 2021 the name of the table was updated from hous_1991_ed to be h_dens_1991_ed to more accurately reflect the content.
4. This table includes enumeration districts for England and Wales and output areas for Scotland.

Checking:

1. Data are exactly as downloaded. The only checking possible was to confirm that the four categories of households always sum to the total number of households.
