This dataset is about Persons per Room. It shows all people in England and Wales living in households by how many persons there are per room of the accommodation. The count of the number of rooms in a household's accommodation does not include bathrooms, toilets, halls or landings, or rooms that can only be used for storage. All other rooms, for example, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, utility rooms and studies are counted. The number of persons per room is calculated by dividing the number of household residents by the number of rooms.
