About this dataset
This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify dwellings in England and Wales by number of dwellings that are small and large HMOs. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.
Protecting personal data
Sometimes we need to make changes to data if it is possible to identify individuals. This is known as statistical disclosure control. In Census 2021, we:
- Swapped records (targeted record swapping), for example, if a household was likely to be identified in datasets because it has unusual characteristics, we swapped the record with a similar one from a nearby small area. Very unusual households could be swapped with one in a nearby local authority.
- Added small changes to some counts (cell key perturbation), for example, we might change a count of four to a three or a five. This might make small differences between tables depending on how the data are broken down when we applied perturbation.

About the variables
Households of multiple occupancy (HMO) (3 categories)
Description: A dwelling where unrelated tenants rent their home from a private landlord is a HMO, if both of the following apply: * at least three unrelated individuals live there, forming more than one household * toilet, bathroom or kitchen facilities are shared with other tenants
A small HMO is shared by 3 or 4 unrelated tenants. A large HMO is shared by 5 or more unrelated tenants.
Quality information: Improvements to the Census address frame allowed us to accurately list multiple household spaces within the same building. This means the data are more often counted as distinct households within separate dwellings reflecting living arrangements.
Comparability with 2011: Not comparable. This variable is new for Census 2021 and there is no comparability with the 2011 Census.
