Table II.—Private Families, Classified by Size of Family, Rooms Occupied,
and Density of Occupation. (From Table II, Census Report.)
The following table contains an analysis of the private families
according to—
(a) The number of persons in the family.
(b) The number of rooms occupied by the family.
Where more than one family is enumerated within a structurally
separate dwelling, each is classified according to the rooms it severally
occupies and not to the total number of rooms in the dwelling. If, as
occasionally happens, one of the rooms is shared by two families (the
allotment to each family being, say, 4½and 3½ in an 8.roomed dwelling),
the families are classified to the next higher integral number of rooms
(5 and 4 respectively), but in arriving at the totals (column (m), etc.)
the actual figures (4½ and 3½) have been used. For definitions of "Private
family," "Structurally separate dwelling" and "Rooms," see note at
heading of Table III, p. 50.
