<p><u><strong>Method of Calculation</strong></u><br>
<br><em>Data source specific method of calculation:</em><br>
<br><strong>IPUMS:</strong><br> The number of one-person private households divided by total number of private households. One-person households are identified using the IPUMS HHTYPE variable, which describes the composition of households and roughly follows the classification system recommended by the UN Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses (Revision 2): <a href="https://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic-social/Standards-and-Methods/files/Principles_and_Recommendations/Population-and-Housing-Censuses/Series_M67Rev2-E.pdf">Link</a>. One-person households are those classified as such in the HHTYPE variable. For HHTYPE category descriptions, see <a href="https://international.ipums.org/international-action/variables/HHTYPE#codes_section">Link</a>. This indicator is calculated for private households only. Meaningful household composition information is not available for group quarters such as institutions and other collective dwellings; all group quarters are classified together in the "group quarters" category of HHTYPE. For this reason, group quarters are excluded from both numerator and denominator of this indicator. Group quarters are identified using the IPUMS GQ variable: <a href="https://international.ipums.org/international-action/variables/GQ#codes_section">Link</a>.<br></p>
