    The following table shows the number of rooms occupied by private families in 1921 and 1911 respectively; and it will be seen that there was a steady trend towards the occupation of a smaller number of rooms in 1921 than in 1911, though the smaller sizes of the average family has to be borne in mind in this connection:—
