Corresponding Table of 1991 Census: Table H-2 Parts A and B
This
table gives the distribution of census houses by the predominant
material of roof. The materials of roof are grouped into 9 broad
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 predominant 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. This
table shows the types of roof material used in census houses.
The data in this table are presented for total, rural and urban
areas separately.
Tahsil
