SC
This
This table gives the distribution of Scheduled
Caste households by ownership status of the census houses and
the number of dwelling rooms occupied by them. A household has
been treated as a Scheduled Caste household when its head
belongs to a Scheduled Caste. The ownership status of occupied
census houses is shown in three categories viz., owned, rented
and any other. . If a household is occupying the census house
owned by itself and is not making payments in the form of rent
to anyone, then the household has been considered as living in
owned house. A household has been treated as living in rented
house, if rent is paid or contracted for by the household in
cash or even in kind. The third category, ‘any other’,
includes the households living in rent free accommodation and
also those who live in houses where ownership either of the land
or of the structure does not belong to the household.
This also includes households living in houses erected on
encroached land. The Scheduled Caste households occupying
dwelling rooms are presented in 7 classes viz., no exclusive
room, one room, two rooms, three rooms, four rooms, five rooms
and six rooms or more. This table excludes institutional
households for which the information relating to ownership
status and number of dwelling rooms occupied by them was not
collected. The data in this table are presented for total, rural
and urban areas separately.
