Corresponding Table of 1991 Census: Table H-3
This
is a three way table giving cross-classification of households
by ownership status of census houses, size of the households and
the number of dwelling rooms occupied. 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 households are grouped into seven size-classes
depending upon the number of persons normally residing in the
household viz., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-8 and 9 persons or more. 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 the institutional households for which
the information on ownership status and number of living rooms
occupied by them 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.
