Other Details.
After careful scrutiny of the 9,565 Forms B (i.e. in the case of the 9,565
structurally separate houses which were measured) the following additional
results were obtained.
A. In addition to the number of families given as overcrowded in Table I,
there are 83 families which are overcrowded by reason only of their having
insufficient accommodation in which to separate properly the sexes.
(N.B.— Except in the case of husband and wife, no person of one
sex over the age of 10 years is permitted to sleep in the same room as
a person of the other sex over the age of 10 years.)
B. There are also 424 families which will be overcrowded within the next
two years by reason of the children in those families attaining to ages of 1 or
10 years— provided of course that there are no deaths or other removals from
the families.
