| Page tools: Non-response rate Item non-response rates are a measure of how many people did not respond to a particular question as a proportion of the total number of people the question was applicable to. In this instance the response is left asnot stated. The majority of item non-response is attributable to the people who did not respond to the Census at all. The second and smaller contributor to item non-response is when people return a Census form but may not answer a particular question(s). For more information, refer toUnderstanding Census data quality. The non-response rate for this variable was 7.7% (6.1% in 2011). Data usage notes Compared to 2011 data, large decreases in the 'Being purchased under a shared equity scheme' category for 2016 can be observed. It is unclear whether this indicates legitimate changes in the way housing has been financed or whether this was caused by respondents misinterpreting either the 2011 or 2016 wording of the question. Further information A definition for Tenure Type is available in the2016 Census Dictionary with additional information available in the Glossary.
