Notes

Census Day was the 21st of March 2021. The ONS perturbs every count slightly to protect privacy, each cell on its own, so a council's categories can add up to a total a few people different from one topic to another, and its councils add up to England's and Wales's counts only within a few dozen.
By council as the ONS's Census API gives them, its lower-tier local authorities of 2023, with Barnsley's and Sheffield's figures under the codes they had until the 1st of April 2025, as the API gives them. Scotland's and Northern Ireland's censuses are separate, so their councils are not here.
Every council's categories together count all its households.
The ONS's description of the topic, “Occupancy rating for bedrooms (6 categories)”: Whether a household's accommodation is overcrowded, ideally occupied or under-occupied. This is calculated by comparing the number of bedrooms the household requires to the number of available bedrooms. The number of bedrooms the household requires is calculated according to the Bedroom Standard, where the following should have their own bedroom: 1. adult couple 2. any remaining adult (aged 21 years or over) 3. two males (aged 10 to 20 years) 4. one male (aged 10 to 20 years) and one male (aged 9 years or under), if there are an odd number of males aged 10-20 5. one male aged 10-20 if there are no males aged 0-9 to pair with him. 6. repeat steps 3-5 for females 7. two children (aged 9 years or under) regardless of sex 8. any remaining child (aged 9 years or under) An occupancy rating of: * -1 or less implies that a household’s accommodation has fewer bedrooms than required (overcrowded) * +1 or more implies that a household’s accommodation has more bedrooms than required (under-occupied) * 0 suggests that a household’s accommodation has an ideal number of bedrooms
