From the census · Chapter 10 of 16 ·DraftRead the full chapter →

169 organisations are counted with Accommodation as their primary sector — 1 in 20 of everything with a sector on record, and the 10th largest of 16. An estimated 79% of the sector is counted, measured against an independent listing rather than assumed.

The 178 listed on this page and the 169 counted above are different claims, not a discrepancy: this page lists everyone who works in Accommodation; the census counts those whose primary sector it is.

Every counted organisation has an island on record, so both ends of this row are shares of everything counted. Both ends are shares of the organisations whose parish is on record — parish is null by contract on Alderney, Sark and Herm, so the off-island rows above are not in either base.

The seven parishes are Castel, St Martin, Forest, St Andrew, St Saviour, St Pierre du Bois and Torteval — everything outside St Peter Port, St Sampson and Vale.
