All usual residents aged 16 and over in households
This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales who are aged 16 and over and living in households by their living arrangements. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

Estimates of living arrangements help to identify and understand the changing patterns of marriage, cohabitation and partnerships within households and provide evidence of the different experiences for people associated with different arrangements that can help to inform the social inclusion agenda.

Living arrangements differ from marital and civil partnership status because cohabiting takes priority over other categories. For example, if a person is divorced and cohabiting, then in results for living arrangements they are classified as cohabiting.

References to civil partnerships are not present in estimates from the 2001 Census which was conducted before the introduction of same-sex  civil partnerships in December 2005. In addition, unlike the 2001 Census, in 2011 no account was taken of those in a second or subsequent marriage, but, the 2001 living  arrangements estimates in UV82 can be made broadly similar by collapsing the appropriate categories.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 and over in households in  England and Wales by adult lifestage. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

Adult lifestage classifies adults in households by age, the number of people in the household, and the presence of dependent children. The definition of an adult used (aged 16 and over) is the alternative version used in a small number of census results.

These estimates provide new insight into the family structure of individuals that are available from the census for the first time.
