The two charts illustrate single-occupant households in England for 2011, with the bar chart detailing the age and gender distribution of occupants and the pie chart presenting data on the number of bedrooms in those homes.
Overall, a larger proportion of people residing independently were female compared to male, with the majority of single men aged between 35 and 49, while most women who were on their own were over 85 years old. Moreover, single-occupant homes most commonly had two bedrooms, whereas only a small number of houses had more than four dormitories.
In detail, in 2011, a more significant portion of individuals aged 65 and older residing solo in England were female, with women comprising approximately 72% of single residents aged 75 to 84 and 76% of those aged 85 and older. In contrast to older age groups, younger adults had a higher proportion of men solo habitation, with nearly 65% of solitary residents in the 35-49 age range being men.
That year, 35.4% of single-person households in England had two retreats, while one-bedroom and three-bedroom units represented 28% and 29.8% of the total, respectively. Less than 7% of these households had four or more sleep havens.
