(1)The figures for the 2004 wards have been calculated by aggregating output area data. Output areas are small areas of between 100 and 125 households. Due to the rounding of this information for confidentiality reasons, the total household figure in this table varies slightly from the figure in the previous table.

 

(2) Overcrowding is defined as the number of households having one room too few for the household. A single person household is assumed to require two 'common' rooms (not including a bathroom) and a bedroom. Families are assumed to require two 'common' rooms (not including a bathroom) and a bedroom for each couple, lone parent, any other person over 16 years, each pair aged 10-15 years of the same sex, each pair formed from a remaining person aged 10-15 years and a child aged under 10 of the same sex, each pair of children aged 10 years and under and each remaining person. This is the definition of overcrowding used by government.

(3) Households without central heating or sole use of a bath and inside toilet.

(4) People who responded 'yes' to the question 'Do you have any long term illness, health problems or disability which limits your daily activities or the work you can do?' A prompt asked people to include any problems due to old age.
