Notes:

1. The data refer to households which may be a family, a couple, or a single person.

2. The figures have been rounded to the nearest 10 cases.

3. Epsom and Ewell parliamentary constituency is covered in part by Epsom and Ewell and Mole Valley local authority areas. Figures are not therefore representative of the constituency area.
