NRS household estimates and projections
• Household estimates are based on Council Tax figures.
• Household projections are based on population projections, with household trends projected from last 2 censuses.– Included variant projections, including
‘alternative headship’ variant, projecting lower household growth.
• 2011 Census estimate: 0.2% above the NRS household estimate• Most councils were within 2%

Future plans
• Incorporate 3 censuses into the projections, to reflect the changing trends better.
• Produce projections from: – 1991 and 2001– 2001 and 2011– Combine, weighting the figures.
• This allows us to make adjustments in future projections, if appropriate.
Weightings - options
• Could choose the weights that give closest results to:
– Survey figures on household types;– Household estimates.
• Could try to minimise discrepancies between estimates and projections at council level.
• Need to be able to justify how the weights are devised.
Any questions?
Any comments would be very welcome!
