Definitions
Adult lifestage
Adult lifestage classifies adults in households under the age of 54 by age, by the presence of dependent children in the hou
the age of the youngest dependent child if applicable.
Adults aged 55 and over are classified by age and whether they are in one or two person households. Those aged 55-74 a
classified by the presence of dependent children.
Adult lifestage uses the alternative definition of an adult - anyone aged 16 and over. This definition is different from the stan
for adults, children and dependent children used in most census results.
Age
Age is derived from the date of birth question and is a person's age at their last birthday. Dates of
birth that imply an age over 115 are treated as invalid and the person’s age is imputed. Infants less than one year old are c
years of age.
Dependent child
A dependent child is a person aged 0 – 15 in a household (whether or not in a family) or aged 16 – 18 in full-time education
family with his or her parent(s). It does not include any children who have a spouse, partner or child living in the household.
Household
A household is defined as one person living alone, or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address
cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room or dining area
A household must contain at least one person whose place of usual residence is at the address. A group of short-term resid
together is not classified as a household, and neither is a group of people at an address where only visitors are staying.
Usual resident
The main population base for outputs from the 2011 Census is the usual resident population as at
census day 27 March 2011. Although the population base for enumeration included non-UK short-term residents, this popu
separately and is not included in the main outputs from the 2011 Census. All outputs, unless specified, are produced using
residents of the UK.
For 2011 Census purposes, a usual resident of the UK is anyone who, on census day, was in the UK and had stayed or int
the UK for a period of 12 months or more, or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK and intended to be outs
less than 12 months.
