The national average of persons per room is 0.76, compared
with the Leyton figure of 0.75; in the 1931 Census the comparable
Leyton figure was 0.86 persons per room. The persons per household
for Great Britain are 3.21 persons; the Leyton figure for 1951 is
2.94 persons, compared with 3.59 in the 1931 Census.
Of the 34,800 households, 9,400 (27 per cent.) are without the
exclusive use of a water closet, 23,600 households (67.8 per cent.)
without the exclusive use of a fixed bath and 3,600 (10.3 per cent.)
without the exclusive use of both stove and sink. It is apparent that
there is much to be done to bring within the reach of all households
the usual amenities of life.
