<p style="margin:0px 0px 13.33px;">The Census 2011 identifies concealed families in each district of the country.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 13.33px;">Here, we present the data and a breakdown of families into various groups; unconcealed, concealed lone parent families and concealed families.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 13.33px;">It is important to note that the data only identifies families with children, and does not identify lone individuals concealed within another household.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 13.33px;">So, what is a concealed family?</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 13.33px;">Where more than one family lives in a property, the “second” family is called concealed – for example a young couple living with parents, or an older couple living in their son or daughter’s family home.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 13.33px;">What is a family reference person?</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 13.33px;">Using the Census, each family is assigned a Family Reference Person (FRP). Where there is more than one family reference person in the household, the primary family is identified (usually the one containing the oldest full-time worker). Other families living in the same property are then counted identified as “concealed”.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 13.33px;">The Office for National Statistics (ONS) analyses concealed family types for each district, including the age group of the Family Reference Person. This is the data we have used, with a little editing to ensure it is "open" data.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 13.33px;"> </p>
