This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Occupancy rating in the unit of occupied households in Scotland. ## Occupancy rating This variable calculates the difference between the actual number of bedrooms and the required number of bedrooms for the household. The number of bedrooms required in each household is calculated using the bedroom standard which was introduced in the [Housing (Overcrowding) Bill 46 (2003)](https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200203/cmbills/046/03046.i-5.html) The bedroom standard indicates that for each household, each of the following groups or individuals requires a separate bedroom: * any couple * any person aged 21 years or more * two people of the same sex aged between 10 and 20 * two children (whether of the same sex or not) under 10 years * two people of the same sex where one person is aged between 10 years and 20 years and the other is aged less than 10 years * any further person who cannot be paired appropriately. An occupancy rating of -1 implies that a household has one fewer bedroom than required, whereas +1 implies that they have one more bedroom than required.
