ConceptHousehold crowding
DescriptionA mismatch between the number of available rooms in a dwelling and the composition of the household.
UseUse to record parameters used to identify a mismatch between the number of available rooms in a dwelling and the composition of the household. The identification of crowding, or overcrowding, is complex and varies between jurisdictions. It is usually assessed based on the number of people sharing the dwelling, their ages, their relationship and their gender. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK535289/table/ch3.tab2/ for a range of examples. This archetype has been designed to be nested within the EVALUATION.living_arrangement, the EVALUATION.housing_summary or the CLUSTER.housing_record archetypes.
PurposeTo record parameters used to identify a mismatch between the number of available rooms in a dwelling and the composition of the household.

Number of roomsNumber of rooms: Number of habitable rooms available to the household.
The definition of an available, or habitable, 'room' varies enormously. In some jurisdictions it refers to the number of available bedrooms, but often needs a broader definition. In most situations definitions exclude the kitchen, bathrooms, balconies, porches, foyers, hall-ways and half-rooms. In a shared dwelling containing more than one household, the number of rooms available to a household will be a subset of the total number of rooms within the dwelling.
