Households and families

These outputs are part of our ongoing research into the possibility of combining administrative data and surveys to produce census-type statistics about households and families as part of an Administrative Data Census.

Over time, we aim to produce information on the number and size of households, and on family composition.

Each year, we aim to expand the breadth, depth and accuracy of our Research Outputs on households and families. That said, this will depend on the availability of the data and its statistical quality.

It's unlikely that information about families will be available just from administrative sources. This means we'll need to produce the information through a combination of administrative data and surveys.
