Holiday flows by LA 21
The census data looked at the flows of people from their usual residence to a second address elsewhere.  The total for England and Wales equalled 207,707, while for Cornwalll it was 14,230.  A total of 540 visits were made by residents of Cornwall of which 425 were to properties in Cornwall. So very little travel to holiday homes by Cornish residents which is a reflection of lower earnings in the region.
 
Holiday homes
The census recorded a total of 172,520 holiday homes in England and Wales, with 11,490 in Cornwall.
 
Notes on second addresses
These estimates will only capture second addresses that have a person staying at them for 30 days or more a year. This means that we will not capture data on second addresses that are not stayed at by someone for this time period. If someone owns a second address but never stays there, or is not occupied by the same person for 30 days a year or more, it will not be captured. The census asks where people live or stay, but does not ask about ownership of second addresses.
