We said
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request regarding how many domestic households there are in the TR18 5 area in Cornwall.
Please note that the most up to date data that we hold regarding the number of household spaces in each postcode in England and Wales is from the 2011 Census. Data from the Census undertaken in March 2021 is still being collected and processed. Analysis on this will be released in 2022.
For census purposes a household space is defined as: 'the accommodation used or available for use by an individual household. Household spaces are identified separately in census results as those with at least one usual resident, and those that do not have any usual residents. A household space with no usual residents may still be used by short-term residents, visitors who were present on census night, or a combination of short-term residents and visitors. Vacant household spaces and household spaces that are used as second addresses are also classified in census results as household spaces with no usual residents.'
The table 'QS417EW - Household spaces' is available from the Nomis webpage: https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/census/2011/qs417ew

In order to protect against disclosure of personal information from the 2011 Census, there has been swapping of records in the census database between different geographic areas, and so some counts will be affected. In the main, the greatest effects will be at the lowest geographies, since the record swapping is targeted towards those households with unusual characteristics in small areas.
Aside from the Census, we do not currently hold analysis of any data below local authority level, but the following datasets may be of interest:
