This data contains household 2014 based projections by district.
The methodology for the 2014-based household projections is based upon the 2012-based
household projections. A description is provided in the Methodology Document.
The methodology uses the latest ONS sub-national population projections and incorporates information from the
Census 2011 on household population and numbers down to local authority level and household
formation rates at a national level.
As with the previous projections, the methodology is split into two stages: Stage One produces
summary household numbers based on long-term demographic trends and Stage Two gives a
more detailed breakdown of household type.
The assumptions underlying national household and population projections are based on
demographic trends. They are not forecasts as, for example, they do not attempt to predict the
impact of future Government policies, changing economic circumstances or other factors that
might influence household growth.
The projections show the household numbers that would result
if the assumptions based in previous demographic trends in the population and rates of household
formation were to be realised in practice.
