This dataset provides 2001 Census estimates that classify households in England and Wales by household composition by tenure and occupancy rating. The estimates are as at census day, 29 April 2001.
The occupancy rating provides a measure of under-occupancy and overcrowding. For example a value of -1 implies that there is one room too few and that there is overcrowding in the household. The occupancy rating assumes that every household, including one person households, requires a minimum of two common rooms (excluding bathrooms).
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).
The terms used to describe tenure are defined as:
Owned: either owned outright, owned with a mortgage or loan, or paying part rent and part mortgage (shared ownership).
Other social rented includes rented from Registered Social Landlord, Housing association, Housing Co-operative and Charitable Trust.
Private rented: renting from a private landlord or letting agency, employer of a household member, or relative or friend of a household member or other person.
'Living rent free' could include households that are living in accommodation other than private rented.
