Rooms (Persons per Room)

Description

The number of Persons per Room is equal to the number of household members divided by the number of rooms in that household's accommodation. The number of rooms data are modelled using information from the Land & Property Services Domestic Property List and other sources. Census 2021 did not ask a 'Number of rooms' question. There are definitional differences between Census 2011 and the modelled count produced for Census 2021. Therefore, comparisons cannot be made between Census 2021 and Census 2011.
