Abstract: Household structures and patterns of home ownership can have important implications for the wellbeing of populations. This paper explores regional differences in household structure and home ownership for the period 1986 to 2001. Over this period there have been some major changes in the distribution of different household structures with a move away from the two-parent household to other household types, such as couple Only and single-person households. Over the same period rates of home ownership have dropped. This paper shows that the patterns and trends for household structures and dwelling tenure vary significantly between regions. This reflects both overall national trends and inequalities between regions.
