Table H-3A SC (Appendix)

Distribution of SCHEDULED CASTE HOUSEHOLDS LIVING IN CENSUS HOUSES BY PREDOMINANT MATERIAL OF ROOF


Level of presentation: India / State / District
New Table in 2001 Census

This appendix table gives the distribution of Scheduled Caste households by predominant material of roof of the census houses occupied by them for fully as well as partly residential purpose. A household has been treated as a Scheduled Caste household when its head belongs to a Scheduled Caste. The materials of roof are grouped into 9 categories such as Grass, Thatch, Bamboo, Wood, Mud, etc.; Plastic, Polythene; Tiles; Slate; G.I., Metal, Asbestos sheets; Brick; Stone; Concrete; and any other material. For determining the material of the roof, the major material used for the outer roof exposed to the weather and not the inside ceiling was considered. However, in the case of multi-storeyed buildings the intervening floor constituted the roof of the lower floor. The data in this appendix table are presented for total, rural and urban areas separately.
