This dataset provides 2001 Census estimates that classify occupied household spaces or occupied dwellings by dwelling type and accommodation type by tenure (households and dwellings). The estimates are as at census day, 29 April 2001.

The terms used to describe tenure are defined as: 
Owned: either owned outright, owned with a mortgage or loan, or paying part rent and part mortgage (shared ownership). Other social rented includes rented from Registered Social Landlord, Housing association, Housing Co-operative and Charitable Trust. Private rented: renting from a private landlord or letting agency, employer of a household member, or relative or friend of a household member or other person.

'Living rent free' could include households that are living in accommodation other than private rented.

In general, a household's accommodation is defined as an unshared dwelling if all the rooms are behind a door that only that household can use.
