This dataset provides 2008-based household projections for the six Spatial Plan areas in Wales and the three sub divisions of South East Wales, breaking the figures down into twelve household types (as well as an all households figure). These household types are listed below:
-- 1 person;
-- 2 persons (no children);
-- 2 persons (1 adult, 1 child);
-- 3 persons (no children);
-- 3 persons (2 adults, 1 children);
-- 3 persons (1 adult, 2 children);
-- 4 persons (no children);
-- 4 persons (2 or more adults, 1 or more children);
-- 4 persons (1 adult, 3 children);
-- 5 or more persons (no children);
-- 5 or more persons (2 or more adults, 1 or more children);
-- 5 or more persons (1 adult, 4 or more children).

The starting point for this Spatial Plan area analysis is the 2008-based local authority housing projection dataset published by the Statistical Directorate on 29 September 2010. Due to the assumptions involved in producing these figures, they should be considered indicative.

The local authority household projections from which these Spatial Plan area data are derived are themselves based on the 2008-based local authority population projections published on 27 May 2010, which incorporate assumptions about births, deaths and migration. The assumptions are generally based on past trends. Projections done in this way do not make allowances for the effects of local or central government policies on future population levels, distribution and change. Instead they provide a starting position to illustrate the consequences of recent and current demographic trends, and allow policy makers and service delivery planners an opportunity to respond to this.

The methodology and assumptions used to produce this dataset are set out in the Statistical Article used to publish the data, available <a href= http://wales.gov.uk/topics/statistics/articles/2008household/?lang=en target=_blank>here</a>. Note that further information on population projections can be found <a href=http://www.statswales.wales.gov.uk/ReportFolders/reportfolders.aspx?IF_ActivePath=P,345,1851,2048,5954 target=_blank>here</a>.

The Wales level household projections included here are the sum of the figures for each Welsh local authority, which is the appropriate comparator when comparing with individual Spatial Plan area data. If using Wales level data in isolation, or in comparison to data for other countries, then figures derived at the national level should be used. These can be obtained from the same StatsWales folder that this dataset is in, or via an e-mail to stats.housing@wales.gsi.gov.uk.

Note that although data are shown rounded to the nearest whole number, to help users who wish to carry out their own calculations, it is advisable to round any results based on these data to the nearest 100 in any further work.
