Rate : Houses under Construction as Percentage of All Houses

Rates are used to define comparative statistics that can be mapped and graphed. For example, our occupational information includes counts of the number of workers in employment and out of employment, as well as the total number of workers. We then define a measure called the 'Unemployment Rate', which uses the number out of work rather than the number in work, and expresses it as a percentage of the total, rather than a rate per thousand. The descriptive text in the system is defined mainly for rates.

While detailed housing statistics on numbers of persons per room were not gathered until the end of the 19th century, and data on amenities like WCs and hot water appear only from 1951, some of the earliest censuses allow us to map houses under construction, and so identify areas where settlements were expanding rapidly.
