The Chimni Home Typology breaks down the UK's 26 million homes into useful groups that help us explore the amazing variation in building type, style, and architectural period as we learn more about our own homes. The family formation of the population has also influenced accommodation requirements. The number of households tripled in Great Britain during the 20th century, partly a result of increasing population together with decreasing average household size. In the latter part of the century the change in household size was influenced by the increase in the numbers of people living on their own.
Between 1901 and 2008 the number of dwellings in England increased over three and a half times, from nearly 6.3 million to around 22.4 million. The rate of increase was smaller in the other UK countries. In Wales the number of dwellings increased three times from 433,000 to 1.3 million,while in Scotland the number of dwellings more than doubled from 986,000 to 2.5 million over the same period. In Northern Ireland the number of dwellings doubled from 354,000 in 1951 (the earliest data available) to 737,000 in 2008
