However, the P1e’s do show the number of households with dependant children on 31/3/15 and then ‘other’ household type can be deducted from that total. These ‘other’ household types would be single people, couple and households made up of any number of adults. </p><p>ENGLAND Other Households Households with Maximum number of dependant children nights in TA Temporary Number Number of Number Number of Single Other Accommodation of nights Other of nights households household households type households s Hostels 14 0 B&Bs/annexes 131 199 (self contained) Refuges 0 0 LA/HA stock 0 2 Accommodation 165 517 leased from private sector by LA/HA Other PRS 156 272 (Seaside Homes)</p><p>3.
