The number of bedrooms in a dwelling is an indicator of the size of dwellings, and when combined with household size information, can be an indication of whether there is overcrowding in dwellings, and perhaps housing affordability and availability issues in the First Nations community in the area.

It is entirely possible and even probable in many cases that some bedrooms are occupied by non-indigenous household members or visitors.
