Household Composition

Definition : This item indicates the make-up and structure of the person’s household.

A household comprises:

one person living alone
a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address with common housekeeping – that is, sharing part or all of the living accommodation and facilities, and/or at least one meal a day
two or more groups of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address with common housekeeping

Purpose : Developing more independent accommodation options is a key element in “The same as you?” and “Supporting People” so this will be an important item for monitoring implementation of local and national strategies.
