# Family & Households — Sunnydale

How families and households are made up across the area.

Area: Sunnydale (Suburb / Locality)

Small household sizes have become the defining feature of Sunnydale. Most homes here are occupied by just one or two people, creating a residential pattern that is quite different from the state and national averages.

Only 1.8 people live in the typical home, which is well below the national figure of 2.5. This is driven by the fact that a third of residents live alone, a rate much higher than most other areas.

Family structures are unusual here, with no one-parent families recorded. This is far below the national figure of 14.1%, as nearly all families in the area consist of couples without children.
