nCube : Exclusive use of a bath

nCubes hold all the statistics presented by the Vision of Britain system, and are defined as combinations of variables. For example, the age-sex tables that appear in most census reports are held as two-dimensional nCubes in which one dimension is a variable categorising sex and the other variable defines a set of age groups. nCubes can have many dimensions, such as age by sex by occupation by cause of death, or just one.

In 1951 and 1971, the census asked whether households had exclusive, shared or no use of a "fixed bath". In 1991, the question was slightly altered to include showers as well as baths; and by then there was no need to specify "fixed".
