Facts request from the microcosm side (microcosm#840 assessment; microcosm#736; the ONS household-composition family).
Why
ons/families_households_2025 carries Tables 5 and 7 of the ONS Families and households in the UK: 2025 workbook (households by size and by type). The adjudication of the UC lone-parent cells needs the family-level counts from the same release, which are not in chronicle:
- Table 1 — families by family type and presence of children, 1996 to 2025: lone-parent families 3,186k (2025, CI ±110k), of which with dependent children 1,946k ±88k (2024: 1,986k ±100k; 2023: 2,024k); all families with dependent children 8,512k ±145k.
- Table 3 — families with dependent children by family type and number of dependent children: lone parents with one child 1,081k ±68k, two 601k ±48k, three or more 264k ±34k (2025).
These are the survey stock of lone-parent families in all household types (Table 7's lone-parent row counts one-family households only: 1,835k ±84k dependent children, 1,204k non-dependent only), and the by-number split is the composition check for the numbered UC cells.
What
Extend the existing package to Tables 1 and 3 (same workbook, familiesandhouseholdsuk2025.xlsx, published 17 April 2026), UK, calendar years 2018–2025 as for Table 7. Please carry the CV category and CI ± columns the workbook publishes (the "Statistical robustness" sheet defines them) — the consumer wants to bind the composition family with its published uncertainty rather than a flat 25% fence.
Shape
As the existing Table 7 facts: family entity (new — a family role alongside resident_household), ons.families_by_type / ons.families_with_dependent_children_by_number source concepts, calendar-year periods, K02000001, assertion: observation, evidence notes naming the table and edition.
Consumer
microcosm's ONS household-composition family (new family-level cells) and the adjudication record for the UC with-children deferrals (microcosm#796).
