This dataset provides 2001 Census estimates that classify usual residents in households in England and Wales by age, sex and living arrangements. The estimates are as at census day, 29 April 2001.

The living arrangements variable is different to marital status. It combines information from both marital status and the relationship matrix. Therefore a person living as part of a 'cohabiting couple' could in fact be married (to someone else) but will not appear as married or separated in this classification.

Figures have been randomly adjusted to avoid the release of confidential data
