# Family & Households — Stieglitz

How families and households are made up across the area.

Area: Stieglitz (Urban Centre)

Single-person households have jumped by 17 percentage points since 2011 in Stieglitz (L). This shift means the area now has a much higher proportion of people living alone than most other areas. As a result, the typical home here is smaller than the state and national figures.

People living alone now make up 36.7% of households, which is far above the Australian figure of 25.6%. This trend has pushed the number of people per home down to 2.0, a figure well below the national average of 2.5.

Couples without children are the most common family type at 52.9%. One-parent families make up 11.6% of the total, which is well below the Tasmanian figure of 15.9%.
