With a view to assisting a long-term assessment of housing requirements a hypothetical stationary population of 100,000 persons has been constructed which, within broad limits, might serve as a model of family distributions, and by means of its analysis by marital status, marriage duration, and size of family might be convertible to the form which appeared to be most suitable for the purpose of estimating future household needs. Such a model shows the general pattern of the population distribution ultimately reached if recent experience in regard to such factors as mortality, frequency and age-incidence of marriage, and distribution by family size were to continue, and births were to occur in the numbers required to maintain the overall population at a constant level. Distributions are appended showing in age groups the numbers of unmarried, married and widowed males and females. Analyses are also provided for age groups of married women, widows and widowers, of the numbers with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 or more unmarried children under age 25. From these tables it is possible to determine the number of family units in this population of 100,000 with their constitution according to number of persons, sex, marital status and age. A description is given of the underlying basis of the various factors entering into the calculations, e.g. mortality, fertility, marriage, divorce, migration, sex ratios, average numbers of unmarried children under age 25 and family-size distributions
