Table H-6 |
Distribution of households
by ownership status of the census houses occupied by them and number of
dwelling rooms |
This
table gives the distribution of households by ownership status
of the census houses and the number of dwelling rooms occupied
by them. 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 number of dwelling rooms occupied by the
households 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 was not collected. The data in this table are
presented for total, rural and urban areas separately. |
