The figures are therefore representative of the local area, not a specific street address or row of houses. The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building. You can see the area covered by the census statistics by clicking "Show Census Area Covered" below the map above. Ah, got you. Really confused now, because mine apparently includes a prison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reference a semi or terrace around here and they look at you weird. Isn't a duplex often one unit on top of another rather than side by side? Or either? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In common usage, in the U.S., a “duplex” is simply a British “semi-detached/semi”. In the biggest cities it may be vertical or horizontal. A “fourplex” is usually a two wide by two tall configuration, but can be two in front and two in back (a terraced fourplex is possible, but very rare). A “triplex” is a quite rare unicorn…but the one pronounced “wrong” (try-plex vs tri-plex or triple-x [which is quite different entirely]). Mostly, anything over a duplex is either a “condo” or “apartments”. Once you get to larger developments, terraced homes are known as “rowhomes”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
