English term or phrase: figures
the charity that manages 2,000 miles of waterways in England and Wales and issues boating licences, acknowledges the problem has also hit other parts of the network, including around Bath, Milton Keynes, and in Hertfordshire. Although figures are hard to quantify, nearly a third of boaters in surveys suggest they live onboard, so there could be more than 11,000 people living on trust waterways.
