Corresponding Table of 1991 Census: Appendix to Table H-2 Part A
and H-2 Part B
This
appendix table gives the distribution of households by the
predominant material of roof of the census houses occupied by
them for fully as well as partly residential purpose. 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 major 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 table
excludes the institutional households. The data in this appendix
table are presented for total, rural and urban areas separately.
The
data for cities will be available only in electronic format.
