Do You Know How Many People Live in the Average Bolton Home?

When helping people move, it’s not just about bricks and mortar, it’s about understanding how households live today.


According to the latest Census data, the north west has 18.5 % of households with four or more people living under one roof. 

Knowledge of this highlights the importance of homes that offer space, flexibility, and functionality.
Larger households often look for homes with generous living areas, multiple bathrooms, good parking, and proximity to schools. Whether it's growing families, multigenerational living, or people simply needing more room to breathe, the local demand for space is real and growing.

At Harrisons estate agents , we keep a close eye on trends like these. Why? Because it helps us match homes with the right buyers faster. Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or just curious about how household trends could affect your home’s value, we're here to help.

In the coming week’s we will be analysing Bolton and looking at the exact numbers for our town and what that means for homeowners and buyers alike.
