This derived variable is an indicator of household deprivation. A household is defined as deprived in the housing dimension if it is either overcrowded (actual number of rooms minus rooms 'required' (see ROOMREQ) is –1 or less) OR is in a shared dwelling OR does not have sole use of a bath / shower or toilet OR does not have central heating.
Output Classifications
This variable is not available in Northern Ireland because of the risk of confusion with existing deprivation measures.
Applicability: All occupied household spaces, England, Wales and Scotland

Number of Rooms, Household
Definition

Number of Rooms, Dwelling
Definition
This variable provides information on the number of rooms in the dwelling. On the final output database it applies to all dwellings. For an unshared dwelling it repeats the information given in NORHUK for the household. For shared dwellings, it is defined as the sum of the number of rooms (NORHUK) in each of the households in the dwelling. If any of the households in the dwelling is vacant or is a second or holiday home, the number of rooms is not available for that household so the total for the dwelling cannot be derived.

Vacant, Second Home Indicator, Household
Definition
This variable provides information as to whether an unoccupied household space is a second or holiday home or is a vacant household space. It is based on information provided by the enumerator. The enumerator is not asked to differentiate between second homes and holiday homes so they cannot be distinguished in output.
Output Classifications
Applicability: Household spaces for which a dummy form is completed by the enumerator.
4 Second residence, holiday accommodation
5 Vacant household space
Note that household spaces which are identified by the enumerator as absents, refusals or non-returns but which do not subsequently have a household imputed by the One Number Census process will be classified as vacant in output. Households that return a form but then prove to be all visitor households will be classified as second/holiday homes in output.
