Note that to provide public data within appropriate data protection principles, categories of accommodation which cover less than 10 households are not reported on specifically but are shown in the data tables with the standard comment (less than 10 (<10)). These categories are not included in the totals shown. Comparing against the detailed data held in individual records, this has undercounted the total number of households in the table above by around 50 a year.
