♦e- <br /> o children = housing units <br /> Subject: Average Number of Children Per Housing Unit by Type of Housing Unit <br /> The question often arises as to the average number of children and the <br /> family size that can be expected in a new subdivision or apartment complex. <br /> The 1960 Census did not provide us with an adequate guide to assist in <br /> answering this question. The 1970 Census did, however, make available <br /> considerable data on this subject. Bureau of the Census Report #HC(2)214 - <br /> Metropolitan Housing Characteristics, Stockton, California, provided <br /> enough data to allow for a detailed assessment of the average number of <br /> children that resided in various types of housing units. The tables on <br /> the reverse side show this relationship. <br /> Possible uses: Table A may be used to estimate the number of children <br /> expected to be present in housing developments designed to accommodate a <br /> mixture of all types of households - studio units (one person households) , <br /> one-bedroom units (one and two person households) , two- three- four-bedroom <br /> units (3 or more person households) . <br /> On the other hand, Table B is more appropriate if the development is <br /> obviously designed for occupancy by families (households of 3 or more <br /> persons) , since the -number of children present in such developments will be <br /> considerably higher than that indicated by the "all household" data contained <br /> in Table A. <br /> December 1973 <br /> Stockton City Planning Department Data Development Div. <br /> -3- <br />
