The totals of each column may not add up to the total households figure due to rounding, and estimates are rounded to the nearest hundred. As the estimates are based on a survey, they are subject to sampling variability. This is because the sample selected is only one of a large number of possible samples that could have been drawn from the population.</p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p>Professor Sir Ian Diamond</p><p> </p><p>1. A household reference person (HRP) is the householder who owns the accommodation; is legally responsible for the rent; or occupies the accommodation as reward of their employment, or through some relationship to its owner who is not a member of the household. If there are joint householders, the one with the highest income is the HRP. If their income is the same, then the eldest one is the HRP.</p> answering member printed Lord True question first answered 15/10/2021 10:11:26 answering member 4200 label Biography information for Lord True attachment 1 file name Table 1.pdf title Table 1
