The charts illustrate the proportions of males and females living alone in England in 2011 across different age groups, along with the distribution of bedroom numbers in one-person households.

Overall, younger age groups were dominated by men living alone, whereas women accounted for the majority in older age brackets. In addition, most one-person households occupied properties with either two or three bedrooms.

Among younger individuals, men were more likely to live alone. Specifically, males represented 53% of those aged 16–24 and 63% in the 25–34 group, with a peak of 65% among people aged 35–49. The gender gap then narrowed in the 50–64 group, where both sexes accounted for an equal share of 50%. Beyond this age, the pattern reversed, with women becoming increasingly dominant. Females comprised 63% of those aged 65–74, rising to 72% for the 75–84 group and peaking at 75% among individuals aged 85 and over. Overall, women made up a larger proportion of solo dwellers (56%) compared to men (44%).

Regarding housing size, two-bedroom homes were the most common among single occupants, accounting for 35.4% of cases. This was followed by three-bedroom properties at 29.8% and one-bedroom dwellings at 28.0%. Larger homes were relatively rare, with only 5.3% of individuals living in four-bedroom properties and a minimal 1.4% occupying homes with five or more bedrooms.
