HOUSEHOLDS IN THE ROVINJ CENSUS OF 1595/6

This paper continues the analysis of the first known census of Rovinj from 1595/6. It examines the size and type of households, as well as the number of children within them. Households were analyzed in terms of their composition and number. The analysis revealed that the most common households were simple ones, consisting of a married couple (or a widow/widower) and their children, while multiple households with two married couples living under the same roof were very rare. Additionally, the census included household support staff and animals. The paper explores which households had specific types of support staff, the relationship between the presence of auxiliary staff and the animals related to a household, and whether auxiliary staff were more common in council families or others.
