Figure 5.4 a) Occupancy Rating by district
Ideally a home should have a Room Occupancy of 0 – Minus 1% or 2% are overcrowded, Positive 1% or 2% have spare capacity. Less than 1% in -2 category. Exeter has 5.4% in the -1 overcrowded category. In the two categories with spare capacity most Devon districts have around 80% of households – Exeter being the exception with 70%. Plymouth, Exeter and Torbay have more than 20% in the 0 category.
