Crowding categories are based on the difference between the number of bedrooms available and the number required to satisfy the conditions of the Canadian National Occupancy Standard.
Canadian National Occupancy Standard states:
1. there should be no more than two people per bedroom
2. parent or couples share a room
3. children under five years, either of same or opposite sex, may reasonably share a bedroom
4. children under 18 years of the same sex may reasonably share a bedroom
5. a child aged five to 17 years should not share a bedroom with one under five of the opposite sex
6. single adults 18 years and over and any unpaired children require a separate bedroom
