This table provides information about the number of communal establishments and the number of usual residents in each type of establishment, for United Kingdom as at census day, 27 March 2011.

In Northern Ireland this table is numbered KS407NI.

Residents who are staff or owner and partners of staff or owner are not included in this table for Scotland, but are included in this table for England and Wales and Northern Ireland. Therefore the total number of residents shown in this table for the UK, Great Britain, Scotland and Scottish council areas will not match figures for these areas shown in table QS421UK.

In order to protect against disclosure of personal information from the 2011 Census, there has been swapping of records in the Census database between different geographic areas, and so some counts will be affected. In the main, the greatest effects will be at the lowest geographies, since the record swapping is targeted towards those households with unusual characteristics in small areas.

More details on the ONS Census disclosure control strategy may be found on the Statistical Disclosure Control page on the ONS web site.
