Rate : % of Persons in Households with over 3 person per room

Rates are used to define comparative statistics that can be mapped and graphed. For example, our occupational information includes counts of the number of workers in employment and out of employment, as well as the total number of workers. We then define a measure called the 'Unemployment Rate', which uses the number out of work rather than the number in work, and expresses it as a percentage of the total, rather than a rate per thousand. The descriptive text in the system is defined mainly for rates.

These figures record how many persons were living in households with 3 or more persons per room (not counting bathrooms and corridors). This therefore measures the worst over-crowding and can be presented only for censuses before 1971, when for Scotland the other density measure, over 1.5 persons per room, cannot be calculated.
