Private Families classified by Size of Family, Rooms Occupied, and Density of Population Note. — The following table contains an analysis of the private families within each area according to (a) the number of persons in the family, and (b) the number of rooms occupied by the family. Where more than one family are enumerated within a strucutrally separate dwelling, each is classified according to the rooms it severally occupies and not to the total number of rooms in the dwelling. For this purpose rooms shared by more than one family are excluded as are sculleries or bathrooms, etc., each family being classified to the next lower integral number of rooms occupied, save in the exceptional case of a family housed in a portion of a room only when it is classified as living in 1 room. The total rooms in column (h) may on this account differ slightly from the corresponding totals of rooms shown in Tables 3 or 10.
