Description
Data
Bar Chart
Pie ChartThis dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify households in England and Wales by occupancy rating based on the number of bedrooms in the household. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.
Summary
Whether a household's accommodation is overcrowded, ideally occupied or under-occupied. This is calculated by comparing the number of bedrooms the household requires to the number of available bedrooms.
The number of bedrooms the household requires is calculated according to the Bedroom Standard, where the following should have their own bedroom:
1. married or cohabiting couple
2. single parent
3. person aged 16 years and over
4. pair of same-sex persons aged 10 to 15 years
5. person aged 10 to 15 years paired with a person under 10 years of the same sex
6. pair of children aged under 10 years, regardless of their sex
7. person aged under 16 years who cannot share a bedroom with someone in 4, 5 or 6 above
An occupancy rating of:
* -1 or less implies that a household’s accommodation has fewer bedrooms than required (overcrowded)
* +1 or more implies that a household’s accommodation has more bedrooms than required (under-occupied)
* 0 suggests that a household’s accommodation has an ideal number of bedrooms
| Occupancy rating for bedrooms: Total: All households | 116,087 |
|---|---|
| Occupancy rating of bedrooms: +2 or more | 37,182 |
| Occupancy rating of bedrooms: +1 | 40,878 |
| Occupancy rating of bedrooms: 0 | 34,983 |
| Occupancy rating of bedrooms: -1 | 2,773 |
| Occupancy rating of bedrooms: -2 or less | 271 |
These values are calculated by adding up the values for census output areas contained within Plymouth. They may, therefore, be slightly inaccurate due to administrative boundaries not precisely aligning with census boundaries.
