This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify household spaces with at least one usual resident in England and Wales by the number of bedrooms. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

This is the first time this information has been available from the census. This helps to identify households living in overcrowded accommodation and provides local authorities with the information they need to tackle housing problems.

Statistical Disclosure Control
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.
