New Table in 2001 Census
This
appendix table gives the distribution of Scheduled Tribe
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 presumed to be a Scheduled Tribe
household when the head of the household belongs to a Scheduled
Tribe. 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 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.
