The study estimated that almost 90% of households lived in flats and that only 16.2%of all households contained children.The study also looked at car ownership (which is often used as an indication of wealth, however ina metropolitan area such as Westminster where public transport is very good the importance ofowning a car is diminished).

It isclear that there are large differences between the different tenure groups, with owner-occupiers(with mortgage) having a significantly greater level of car ownership than households in the socialrented sector.PAGE 2

The broadfindings were:• An estimated 22.5% of households have lived in their current home for less than two years;with 41.0% of moves occurring within the City.• In terms of future household moves, the survey estimates that 27,437 existing and 6,086potential households need or expect to move within the next two years. In both cases ahigher proportion would like to move to owner-occupation than expect to do so.One of the main sources of secondary information used was the Land Registry.
