Notes:

  2. Notes to this table on CASWEB say:
    1. Social Grade is a socio-economic classification used by the Market Research and Marketing Industries; most often in the analysis of spending habits and consumer attitudes. Although it is not possible to allocate Social Grade precisely from information collected by the 2001 Census; the Market Research Society has developed a method for using Census information to provide a good approximation of Social Grade. Persons are classified by the approximated Social Grade of their Household Reference Person (HRP) which is based on occupation. For households where the the HRP is not aged 16-74 the Social Grade of the HRP; and all persons in the household will be estimated using household tenure. More detail is provided in the supporting information.
    2. In this table, people are classified by the Approximated Social Grade of their Household Reference Person.
