| notes | A household is classified by the type of family present, but households with more than one family are categorised in the priority order:
Married couple family,
Same-sex civil partnership couple family,
Cohabiting couple family,
Lone parent family.
Within a family type a family with dependent children takes priority.
This means that in tables that use this classification the alternative definitions of married couple household, same-sex civil partnership couple household, cohabiting couple household and lone parent household are applicable.
