Description
This 2010 Census dataset counts Singapore resident households by the language spoken most often at home. Household totals are broken down by the ethnic group and sex of the household head, including Chinese, Malay, Indian, other, and overall categories. It supports analysis of home-language patterns and demographic variation across resident households, but excludes one-person households and households made up only of unrelated people, which should be considered when comparing the results with broader household totals.
