Although the population base for enumeration included non-UK short-term residents, these are not included in the main outputs from the 2011 Census, but are analysed separately. All outputs, unless specified, are produced using only usual residents of the UK.

Amenities (5.57 kB)Jan 2011

Occupancy rating provides a measure of whether a household's accommodation is overcrowded or under occupied. In this summary the measure of occupancy rating, is based on the total number of rooms in a household's accommodation. The ages of the household members and their relationships to each other are used to derive the number of rooms they require, based on a standard formula. The number of rooms required is subtracted from the number of rooms in the household's accommodation to obtain the occupancy rating. An occupancy rating of -1 implies that a household has one fewer room/bedroom than required and is thus overcrowded.

Central heating:

A household’s accommodation is classified as having central heating if it is present in some or all rooms (whether used or not).
