More details


These figures record how many persons were living in households with 3 or more persons per room (not counting bathrooms and corridors). This therefore measures the worst over-crowding and can be presented only for censuses before 1971, when for Scotland the other density measure, over 1.5 persons per room, cannot be calculated.
