This table provides information about the number of residents in households and in communal establishments, for United Kingdom as at census day, 27 March 2011. The table also includes an estimate of the number of communal establishments in which persons sleeping rough were present.

This table does not include the count of 'Communal establishments with persons sleeping rough identified' as this data is only available for England and Wales.

Lives in a communal establishment - this includes people enumerated as sleeping rough.

In order to protect against disclosure of personal information from the 2011 Census, there has been swapping of records in the Census database between different geographic areas, and so some counts will be affected. In the main, the greatest effects will be at the lowest geographies, since the record swapping is targeted towards those households with unusual characteristics in small areas.

More details on the ONS Census disclosure control strategy may be found on the Statistical Disclosure Control page on the ONS web site.
