If house sharing was on average the same rate per capita throughout the region-a big assumption because the 1637
links of london data showed that dividing varied greatly by ward-then during the boom years of the seventeenth century until the Civil War, London house sharing resulted in about 135 units a year, for a total of perhaps 5,400 divided units by 1640 in the region. In addition, the nonpoor occupied an unknown number of

Not every house lent itself to dividing, and many had already been divided, so a first cut-doubling the assumed 1600-37 rate for an abnormally rapid increase in demand for the 1650s-would accommodate 270 or so households annually allowing for some doubling up

Even quadrupling the divided housing rate of the 1630s would have a restricted impact. It is likely that there was a decided increase in divided housing, but there is a limit to how the existing stock can be carved up: the middle class and wealthy might take in some lodgers in their larger houses without dividing; room layout and house configuration would dictate what housing the poor were amenable to dividing, and much of that had already been divided and occupied as such. Divided housing was clearly an important but only partial response to high demand.
