How to read this report

Numerator: 4 people in household + 5 people in household + 6 people in household + 7 people in household + 8 or more people in household. Divided by the total in the same TS017 table. All numerator categories must be present. Source-era authority boundaries are retained, including authorities since reorganised. Rounded, disclosure-controlled Census counts; not a current population estimate.
