The charts demonstrate how many individuals resided together in the UK in 1981 and 2001. The results are divided into six categories: one-person household, two, three, four, five, and six.
From an overall perspective, it can be seen that families consisting of two members were the most common type in both 1981 and 2001, while five-person and six-person families were always the least prevalent. In contrast, being alone was a rather more modern trend, unlike the situation when there were three or four people under one roof.
Regarding 2001, the majority of citizens chose to live either on their own (26) or only with one person (34) that significantly exceeded the number of three-or-four-member households (17 and 15, respectively). Meanwhile, larger families with five or more people were at the end of the top (6 and 2, respectively).
With respect to 1981, the figures of people settling in pairs accounted for 31 considerably, leaving behind families of three (20), four (18), and one (17), whereas those of five and six had the same pattern as in 2001, 8 and 6, respectively.
