The two charts provide information about
single-occupant households in England for the year 2011. The bar chart compares
the figures by gender and age, and the pie chart illustrates how many bedrooms
they had.
Looking at the first chart, females made up
a higher proportion than males on average, and this gap was particularly
noticeable in older age categories. (females aged 65-74 years; 62%, 75-84
years; 72%, 85years and over; 75%) Conversely, among the younger age groups,
males living alone tended to show higher percentage, with the figures
fluctuating from approximately 50% to 60%.
Turning to the pie chart, over a third
(35.4%) of the people who were living alone in England had two bedrooms in
their house, while less than 10% of the people had four or more bedrooms. The
figures for people who had one or three bedrooms was similar at 28.0% and 29.8%
respectively.
Overall, the percentage of people living
alone in England was higher in females, and the majority of the single-occupant
households had two bedrooms.
