Ten of Singapore’s largest planning areas compared by household-size shares; %, Census 2020.
Among the 15 planning areas with the most resident households, Toa Payoh had the highest one-person household share at 24.9%. Choa Chu Kang had the highest four-person share at 25.7%. Pasir Ris had the highest share of households with six or more people at 11.9%. Because each percentage uses its planning area’s total households, the profiles compare composition rather than area size.

Evidence: Supports all household-size columns and totals for the 15 planning areas with the most resident households.
The matrix compares within-area composition and should not be interpreted as a ranking of household counts by size category.
Select the 15 areas by the Total column, convert 1- through 5-person counts to shares, combine the 6-, 7- and 8-or-more-person rows into a six-plus share, and preserve every cell. The matrix uses the ten largest planning areas for legibility; the accompanying data table retains all 15 profiles.
Every cell uses one final census source, 2020 period and its own planning-area total denominator.
