Private households by municipality and number of persons as of 1 February 2011

The number of private households per municipality and the number of persons as of 1 February 2011 is calculated by STATEC. The delimitation of municipalities is that observed on 1 February 2011, the date of the last general population census. A private household can be: (1) a household of isolated, that is, a person living alone in a separate housing unit or occupying, as a subtenant, one or more rooms of a housing unit, but who does not form a multiple household with other occupants of the unit; (2) a multiple household, i.e. a group of two or more persons who join forces to occupy a housing unit, in whole or in part, and provide in common with their food and/or other basic needs of existence. The members of this group may, to a varying extent, pool their incomes. The group may consist only of persons related to each other, unrelated persons or persons belonging to either of those two categories; it may include boarders but not subtenants. Persons temporarily absent at the time of the census are considered to be part of the household. Domestic servants, employees and workers living with their employer are part of the employer’s household; however, if they return to their household at least weekly, they are only part of the household.
