This dataset provides 2001 Census estimates that classify families in England and Wales by family composition by age of Family Reference Person (FRP). The estimates are as at census day, 29 April 2001.

A dependent child is a person in a household aged 0 to 15 (whether or not in a family) or a person aged 16 to 18 who is a full-time student in a family with parent(s). An adult in a household is defined as a person who is not a dependent child.

A 'concealed family' is one that does not contain the Household Reference Person.

A very small discrepancy has been identified in the results in this table for ward 22UEFQ (Appleton), and areas containing this ward. The discrepancy is small enough not to affect any interpretation of the results.
