Household Estimates and Projections:Recent Work
March 2006: 2003 based household projections for England and Regions
April 2006: 2003 based household projections for local authorities in England
April onwards- Provision on request of analyses from the 2003 based household projections:- household representative rates; more detailed age and gender breakdown.
October 2006: Household estimates by local authority
Current: 2004 based household projections

Household Estimates and Projections
Next major update: household projections linked to ONS 2006 based sub-national population projections- expected 2nd half of 2008
A pause and time to review our household projection work
Why?
How?
When?
4
Why?
Development of housing and planning policy requires evidence of the likely future demand for housing.
Population projections provide evidence on the likely future demand for services such as health and education.
But ‘households’ consume ‘housing’ and household numbers are growing faster than population so we need projections of households
Knowledge of future household growth informs the national policy and Regional and Local Plans.

How? (1)
Makes sense to tie into the ONS official population projections that will have national projections every two years and sub-national projections about one year after each national projection.
Various ways to convert population into household numbers: each have advantages and disadvantages
Population Projections (numbers and age
structure)
Projection of Marital Status and Cohabitation
Projections of Population by Marital
Status Groups
Projection of Population in Institutions
Projections of Private Household Population
(by marital status)
Projection of Household Representative Rates
Un-controlled Projections of
Household Repres- entatives (by age,
gender. marital status and household type)
Top-down Control Process to Ensure "Local"
Projections Add up to National Projection
"Controlled" Projection of Households (by above typology)
Projection Process
7
How? (2)
Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency considered various methods in producing ‘Household Projections for Northern Ireland: 2002-2025’ (Published January 2005)
Each method has advantages and disadvantages
8
Household Projection Methods
Method Advantages Disadvantages
Trends in average household size applied to population projections
Simple Does not account the effect of changing population age and gender structure and in the types of households
Household Representative Rates- Projections of the proportions of age/gender groups that are ‘reps’ and ‘non reps’
Accounts for changing household types (e.g. one person households)
Complex, data hungry, household rep may be affected by definitional changes in Census (but not CLG method)
Individual propensity – individuals allocated to family / household groupings by individual probabilities
Accounts for changing family and household structures. Does not rely on household rep.
Complex, data hungry

Household Projection Methods: Some Issues
Projections of marital and cohabitation Whether to use these to guide the household projections
Projections of household representative / individual propensity rates
Whether to account for the ‘life cycle’ affect as well as historic trends.
Taking account of saturation household representative rates
National/ Regional controlling How best to ensure consistency between national, regional and local projections
Institutional population Elderly population - life-time homes
Ability to produce variants Scenarios – to provide policy with a range
10
Household Estimates
Household estimates produced by applying projected household representative rates to mid year estimates.
Issues (as raised by Alan Holmans):• Link between dwellings and households
• Do we need an integrated model?• Do we need to use administrative sources (e.g. council tax)
