Households by household size

<p><strong>Households total and by household size</strong></p> <p>Household structure of the resident population by total number of households and by household size (by number of persons in the household). The data are presented for the city of Konstanz and for the 15 districts from 2010.</p> <p>The household structure of the resident population is not recorded directly in the population register. Therefore, the household generation programme HHGen is used to determine households in a multi-stage generation process. To this end, the programme identifies relationships between residents registered in Constance on the basis of family and birth names, the same residential address, the date of registration and other demographic characteristics such as age, gender, marital status and nationality. It is not always possible to capture all budgetary relations correctly. For this reason, the number of 1-person households tends to be overestimated and the number of 2-person households underestimated. The reason for this distortion is that, in particular, non-marital cohabitation or residential cohabitation cannot always be recognised as such.</p> <p><strong>Source: </strong>City of Constance</p>
