Household - one person living alone; or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room or dining area. Dwelling – a unit of accommodation which may comprise one or more household spaces (the accommodation used or available for use by an individual household). A dwelling may be classified as shared or unshared. A dwelling is shared if: the household spaces it contains have the accommodation type ‘part of a converted or shared house’, not all of the rooms (including kitchen, bathroom and toilet, if any) are behind a door that only that household can use, and there is at least one other such household space at the same address with which it can be combined to form the shared dwelling.
