Dataset/table: Resident households by planning area and household size
Units: households; percent
Date checked: 2026-07-16
Evidence: Supports two-person household counts and total households for all 30 named planning areas.
Shares measure prevalence within each planning area rather than raw household volume.
For each named planning area, divide the 2 Persons count by the same row's Total count, exclude national Total and residual Others, and rank all 30 area shares.
Every numerator and denominator uses the same final census source, area, period and household-count basis.
