Household characteristics in LSIC Wave 1,^a by Level of Relative Isolation²⁷

	Level of Relative Isolation
Household characteristics	None (urban)	Low	Moderate	High/extreme	Total
Average number of people in the household	4.5	4.8	5.8	5.7	5.0
Average number of children in the carer’s nuclear family	2.1	2.6	2.6	2.7	2.5
Average number of children in the household	2.6	2.8	3.0	3.1	2.8
Total (n)	435	839	214	189	1677

^aThe total sample size is 1677 rather than 1671, as the paper was written before six families were removed from the data for administrative reasons. The P-values for differences by cohort across LORI exceeded 0.05, so it was considered appropriate to combine the younger and older cohorts in this table.
