Lower Class Housing

I was a little curious as to what the housing life would be like if you were a working class family in Victorian England.

I found this excerpt from Census Helper - Victorian Life

"Most housing was rented, with fewer than one in ten people owning their own home. For the working classes it was only possible to own a home if the area was prosperous and income was stable, and repayments towards ownership would be approximately 10s per month."

It seems like a lot of families would live in one house together.
