The average housekeeping household size is strongly influenced by the share of one-person households. It is demonstrated on households in the capital city of Prague, where thanks to high representation of one-person households, the average number of housekeeping household members is lowest of all regions (less than 2 members). Housekeeping households with one member are the most common size of a household, the above-average representation had also Karlovarský, Ústecký, Liberecký and Moravskoslezský regions. The highest average number of household members had Vysočina, Středočeský and Zlínský regions (about 2.3). These regions also recorded an above-average share of households with 4 or more members, about one fifth of all housekeeping households.
