Summary of Findings
• Average household size is 2.48– Affordable housing has a larger average household
size
• Recent migrants from outside UK have higher average household size
• Overcrowding has increased in new housing– Having more children increases overcrowding
• Residents are satisfied with their homes– Providing a garden or balcony improves
satisfaction

Definition of Overcrowding
• Having more persons in a household than livable rooms– Livable rooms include large kitchens, dining rooms,
living rooms or, lounges– Livable rooms do not include bathrooms or rooms
used for storage space
• Having more persons in a household than bedrooms
• We chose the first definition in our project

Extra Amenity Space Satisfaction
![Page 22: Brent New Housing Survey 2008. 2 Introductions James Cialdea –Computer Science, Upton MA Douglas Heath –Civil Engineering, Andover MA Ryan Lawrence –Mechanical.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649c815503460f9493989b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Summary of Recommendations
• Provide more amenity space in future developments
• Increase the size of homes in new developments
• Conduct further research in the areas of:– Overcrowding– Migrant household trends
• Surveying recommendations:– Ensure adequate time– Use reminder letters– Use cash incentives
![Page 23: Brent New Housing Survey 2008. 2 Introductions James Cialdea –Computer Science, Upton MA Douglas Heath –Civil Engineering, Andover MA Ryan Lawrence –Mechanical.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649c815503460f9493989b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Provide More Amenity Space in New Housing
• Our data show that having a garden increases resident satisfaction– Whether garden is private or communal
does not matter
• Providing a balcony or patio also improves satisfaction– Could be used in areas with limited space
![Page 24: Brent New Housing Survey 2008. 2 Introductions James Cialdea –Computer Science, Upton MA Douglas Heath –Civil Engineering, Andover MA Ryan Lawrence –Mechanical.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649c815503460f9493989b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
New Homes Need to Be Larger
• 27% of newly developed homes are overcrowded
• Many overcrowded homes have children in them– We support LDF suggestion of changing the
definition of family sized housing from two or more bedrooms to three or more
![Page 25: Brent New Housing Survey 2008. 2 Introductions James Cialdea –Computer Science, Upton MA Douglas Heath –Civil Engineering, Andover MA Ryan Lawrence –Mechanical.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649c815503460f9493989b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Investigate the Effects of Overcrowding
• Satisfaction is not decreased in overcrowded homes
• Investigate other possible negative consequences of overcrowding– Spread of disease and negative effects on
education
• Look into standardizing the definition of overcrowding
![Page 26: Brent New Housing Survey 2008. 2 Introductions James Cialdea –Computer Science, Upton MA Douglas Heath –Civil Engineering, Andover MA Ryan Lawrence –Mechanical.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649c815503460f9493989b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Investigate Migrant Household Trends
• Our data show with 87% confidence that recent migrants have larger household sizes
• Investigate:– Why?– Characteristics of housing developments
migrants move to– Causes for migration
![Page 27: Brent New Housing Survey 2008. 2 Introductions James Cialdea –Computer Science, Upton MA Douglas Heath –Civil Engineering, Andover MA Ryan Lawrence –Mechanical.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649c815503460f9493989b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Surveying Recommendations
• Ensure adequate time is available– Time constraints limited what we could do
• Short questionnaire– Residents are more likely to fill out a
questionnaire if it will not take long
• Use reminder letters– Response rate increased after reminder
letter was mailed
• Use cash incentives
![Page 28: Brent New Housing Survey 2008. 2 Introductions James Cialdea –Computer Science, Upton MA Douglas Heath –Civil Engineering, Andover MA Ryan Lawrence –Mechanical.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649c815503460f9493989b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
