These figures are equal to the
number of people in the age group projected to live in a 'one
adult' household,
divided by the projected population of that age and gender
(including those living in communal establishments)
These figures were corrected slightly in 2009. See the page
"Household Projections for Scotland, 2006-Based"
on the GROS website for more information.
