Population and Lifestyle

An analysis of population and household formation patterns in Kent, based on results from the 2001 Census.

• Married couple households are still the most common single household type (48.9%) in Kent (which includes Medway)
  
  
• The "traditional family" household structure of a married couple with dependent children make up only 18.8% of all Kent households. The remainder is a diverse mixture of household types
  
  
• Car ownership is higher in Kent than in the rest of England and has also grown marginally faster than the national average.
  
  

The Census is carried out every ten years. The 2001 Census was conducted on 29 April 2001 by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for the whole of England and Wales. The data collected from a census is useful in planning services and resources throughout the whole decade, despite seeming out of date to many already.
