This dataset provides 2011 Census estimates that classify, by number of dependent children and by age of Household Reference Person (HRP), the households living in an area, and those having moved from the area to elsewhere within the UK in the year preceding the census. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

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.
