Definitions

The estimated numbers of households and average household size are for 30 June each year.

Base population
The mid-year population estimates for 2012 to 2023 have been used as the base population for these household estimates. These are produced by the Office for National Statistics.

Dwelling
A dwelling can consist of one household space (an unshared dwelling) or two or more household spaces (a shared dwelling). As a result a house may contain more than one household.

Household
A household comprises one person living alone, or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address with common housekeeping - that is, sharing either a living room or sitting room or at least one meal a day. A household is not the same as a house or dwelling. The definition of a dwelling is given above.

Geographies and boundaries

The household estimates are for Wales as a whole and for local authority areas within Wales, which are based on the boundaries used for the most recent population estimates.
