Description

This dataset contains information on the average number of people per household (‘average household size’) in each council area and in Scotland. Average household size is calculated using the mid-year household estimates, the mid-year population estimates, and communal establishment rates from Scotland’s Census 2001 and 2011.

The first stage is to calculate the number of people living in private households (the ‘private household population’) rather than in communal establishments, such as student halls of residence, prisons or care homes. This is done by applying the communal establishment rates to the mid-year population estimates to estimate the communal establishment population, and subtracting this population from the mid-year population estimate. Communal establishment rates for 2002 to 2010 are estimated from the rates from Scotland’s Census 2001 and 2011. The communal establishment rates from Scotland’s Census 2011 are used from 2012 onwards.

The second stage is to estimate average household size by dividing the private household population by the mid-year household estimate.

For full details of the methods used see the ‘Estimates of Households and Dwellings in Scotland’ publications on the National Records of Scotland (NRS) website.
