SINGSTAT (Singapore Department of Statistics)

Source: SINGAPORE DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS

Data Last Updated: 30/06/2026

Update Frequency: 10 years

Survey period: General Household Survey 2015

Footnotes: Notes: Data exclude one-person households and households comprising only unrelated persons. Data on Household Living Arrangement have been revised in June 2026 to be based on the composition of members within the household, instead of the characteristics of the head of household, to provide a more holistic view of household living arrangements.
