Household composition is classified into standard categories that are adapted from the data collection definitions used by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in its Community Housing National Data Collection Jurisdiction Processing and Data Manual 2013-14.
Sole parent with dependant(s): This value is derived from the 'Sole parent with child/ren aged less than 16 years' value.
Couple with dependant(s): This value is derived from the 'Couple with child/ren aged less than 16 years' value.
Group (related adults): This value is derived from the 'Family (with other family members present including children aged 16 years and over)' and 'Family (with other non-related members present)' values.
