Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

This dataset shows the one-person household estimates for Wales. It provides an indication of the number and characteristics of people living in one person households. The dataset comprises estimated one person household population numbers for each mid-year and area along with a breakdown by age and sex.

Data collection or calculation

The one-person household estimates for Wales are produced by Knowledge and Analytical Services, Welsh Government. The methodology has been developed in conjunction with the Wales Sub-national Projections group (WaSP). Members of WaSP include representatives with experience of demographic and housing data from Welsh local authorities, Data Cymru and the Welsh Government.

The estimates use data about household membership rates from the latest available censuses of the population and apply them to the latest local authority population estimates. They are based on the best available data at the time of publication, therefore, we recommend using these estimates in preference to projections.
