Table of 1991 Census: Table H-4 SC
This table gives the distribution of Scheduled
Caste households by ownership status of houses occupied and
availability of electricity and toilet facilities to the
households. A household has been treated as a Scheduled Caste
household if its head belongs to a Scheduled Caste. The table
presents the distribution of 1000 persons belonging to Scheduled
Castes by ownership status of houses occupied and availability
of electricity and toilet facilities. The ownership status of
occupied census houses has been 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 data in this table are presented for total, rural and
urban areas separately.
The
table is available only in electronic format.
