Help text: Number of shared dwellings: Three or more household spaces

A dwelling is a unit of accommodation in which all rooms - including the kitchen, bathroom and toilet - are behind a door that only that household can use.

A dwelling may comprise one or more household spaces (the accommodation used or available for use by an individual household).

A dwelling may be classified as shared or unshared. A dwelling is shared if:

â€¢ the household spaces it contains have the accommodation type â€˜part of a converted or shared houseâ€™

â€¢ not all of the rooms (including kitchen, bathroom and toilet, if any) are behind a door that only that household can use, and

â€¢ there is at least one other such household space at the same address with which it can be combined to form the shared dwelling.

Dwellings that do not meet these conditions are unshared dwellings.

A household space is the accommodation used or available for use by an individual household.

Household spaces are identified separately in census results as those with at least one usual resident, and those that do not have any usual residents.

A household space with no usual residents may still be used by short-term residents, visitors who were present on census night, or a combination of short-term residents and visitors.

Vacant household spaces and household spaces that are used as second addresses are also classified in census results as household spaces with no usual residents.
