Note.—At the Census of 1931 a departure was made from the lines followed in 1921, by the omission of the record of "buildings."
"The heterogeneous collection of structures met with throughout the area has little statistical application in connection with
a population study Nor has any attempt been made to obtain a record of dwellings or buildings in course of erection."—
(Extract from Census Report, County of London.)
Dwellings, Rooms and Families.

Table: Definitions:—For definitions of "Private Families," "Structurally Separate Dwellings" and "Rooms" see note at the head of table immediately preceding. Dwellings or parts of dwellings unoccupied on Census night, whether through their being tenantless or through the temporary absence of the occupying family, have all been classified as "vacant." They have been apportioned between "furnished" and "others" from such indications as could be obtained from enquiry or external scrutiny.
