Acreage, Population, Private Families and Dwellings.
Definitions.
Private Family.—Any person or group of persons included in a separate return as being in separate occupation of any premises
or part of premises is treated as a separate family for Census purposes, lodgers being so treated only when returned as boarding
separately and not otherwise. Private families comprise all such families with the exception of those enumerated in (i) institutions
or (ii) business establishments or boarding-houses in which the number of resident trade assistants or resident boarders exceeds the
number of members of the employer's or house-holder's family (including private domestic servants).
Structurally Separate Dwellings.—A structurally separate dwelling has been defined for the Census as any room or set of
rooms, intended or used for habitation, having separate access either to the street or to a common landing or staircase. Thus each
flat in a block of flats is a separate unit; a private house which has not been structurally subdivided is similarly a single unit whether
occupied by one family or by several families. But where a private house has been subdivided into maisonettes or portions, each
having its front door opening on to the street or on to a common landing or staircase to which visitors have access, then each such
portion is treated as a separate uni.
