''A large percentage of the total population of the communities live in houses; they do not lose their ethnicity when they move into houses. Others live on local authority or privately owned caravan sites or are resident on their own plot of land. Around one-fifth of the non-housed populations have no secure place to stay, and move between unauthorised encampments.''
