In the census 1921 it has a number for dwelling and family. Does anyone know what it means?

The dwellings and families were numbered separately...Dwelling #1 could have families #1 and #2 living under the same roof...therefore dwelling #2 would have family #3 etc.
It was not uncommon to have two families in the same house.
