Households with children

About this topic

Households with children groups households according to whether children are present and the life stage of those children. In this topic, life stage is based on the ages of the children in the household rather than the age of the parents.

This topic is useful for understanding likely demand for childcare, schools, youth services, and family housing. It should be read with household size, age structure, and dwelling type to build a fuller picture of family life in an area.

Interpretation notes

  • This is a derived subset of households that classifies households by whether children are present and by the ages of those children.
  • The life-stage labels describe the ages of children in the household, not the ages of parents or carers.
