This
This is a three way table presenting
cross-classification of Scheduled Caste households by ownership
status of census houses, household size and the number of
dwelling rooms available to them. Scheduled Caste households
refer to those households where the head of household belongs to
a Scheduled Caste. The ownership status of occupied census
houses has been depicted 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 households are grouped into seven
size-classes depending upon the number of persons normally
residing in the household. These size-classes are: 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6-8 and 9 persons or more. For the purpose of presenting the
data on the number of dwelling rooms, the households are
classified in 7 classes according to the number of dwelling
rooms to the households viz., no exclusive room, one room, two
rooms, three rooms, four rooms, five rooms and six rooms or
more. This table excludes the institutional households for which
the information on ownership status of the census house and
number of dwelling rooms was not collected. The data in this
table are presented for total, rural and urban areas separately.
This
table is available only in electronic format.
