The charts show the percentage of single-ocupant households in England in 2011 divided into age and gender together with the number of bedrooms they had at home.
Overall, it is readily apparent that women made up the highest proportion of people living alone, and it was particularly noticeable in elder age categories. In addition, the significant percentage of single-ocupant people had 2 bedrooms at their homes.
Single women aged 85 and over made up nearly 75% in 2011, consistently higher than that of men(25%). Males coming from 75-84 age group and those aged 65 to 74 accounted for nearly 30% and 40% respectively. Females between the ages of 50 and 64 represented the same proportion of one-person occupant as men did. Furthermore, middle-aged males reached the pinnacle at almost 65%. Plus, while the high percentage of young adults who lived lonely was comprised by men roughly at 60%, this figure was abated by about 5% in the age bracket of 16-24.
In the same year, 35.4% of single resident households in England had two bedrooms, while one-bedroom and three-bedroom homes accounted for 28% and 29.8% of the total. Under 7% of single-occupant homes had four or more bedrooms.
