This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by residence type (household or communal resident). It also includes an estimate of the number of communal establishments in which persons sleeping rough were present. This is different from 2001 census table UV01 in which estimates of the number of persons sleeping rough were provided separately. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

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.
