This dataset provides 2001 Census estimates that classify families in England and Wales by age of Family Reference Person (FRP) and number and age of dependent children by family type. The estimates are as at census day, 29 April 2001.

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).

A very small discrepancy has been identified in the results in this table for an Output Area in ward 22UEFQ (Appleton), and areas containing this Output Area. The discrepancy is small enough not to affect any interpretation of the results.
