2.6 Housing Unit
A Housing Unit is an independent place of abode intended for habitation by one household. This should have direct access to the outside such that. the occupants can come in or, go out without passing through anybody else's premises, that. is, a housing unit should have at least one door which directly leads outside in the open or into a public .corridor or hallway. Structures which are not intended for habitation such as garages and barns, classroom etc,. but are occupied as by one or more households at the time of the Census will also be treated as The following are the types of Housing Units, thus:
a. Traditional Housing Unit: A traditional housing unit is indigenous to a particular irrespective of building materials.
b. Mixed Housing Unit: Mixed housing: units are of a mixed type i.e.with a unique combination of building materials. .An example could be that of a conventional housing, with concrete block walls with an extension of rooms of pole and dagga walls or a cabin.
c. A Conventional House Flats (Housing Unit): A conventional housing unit is a room or a set of rooms and accessories in a permanent building. It can also be structurally separated part of the permanent building by the way it has been [illegible] apartments, etc. A Conventional Housing unit may be just one structure, several structures or part of a big structure. If it is part of a structure, then other parts may also be housing units, like in a block of flats, or be other than housing units, like shop, an office, etc., or mixture of such units. In some cases, a place may be originally designed as a barn, warehouse, etc., and thus not intended for human habitation. Later on it may be converted into a housing unit by structural alterations, re-design, etc., and thus may now be fit and intended for habitation. In such cases, these will now be classified as conventional housing units.
d. Mobile Housing Unit: This is any type of living quarter that has been produced to be transported e.g. a tent. A mobile housing unit may also refer to a moving unit such as a ship, a boat, or a caravan occupied as living quarters at the time of the census.
e. Part of Commercial building: This is a living quarter which is part of a commercial building, e.g. shop owners living on top of the shop.
f. An Improvised/Makeshift Housing Unit: An improvised housing unit is an independent, makeshift-shelter or structure built of mostly waste or salvaged materials and without a predetermined design or plan for the purpose of habitation by one household, which is being used as living quarters though it may not comply with generally accepted standards for habitation. Such a unit will be generally found in suburban shanty areas. Not all structures in shanty areas may be considered as improvised as many of these may have been built in a planned manner from regular building materials.
g. Collective Living Quarters: Collective living quarters include structurally separate and independent places of abode intended for habitation by large groups of individuals or several households with no common bond, public objective or interest. Such quarters usually contain common facilities such as kitchen, bathrooms, lounge or dormitories, which are shared by occupants. Examples are hotels, motels, inns, lodges, rooming houses, etc., which provide lodging on a fee basis.
h. Institutions: Institutions are sets of premises in a permanent structure or structures designed to house groups of persons (usually large) who are bound by either a common public objective or a common personal interest. In this type of livingquarters persons of the same sex frequently share dormitories. Examples are.Hospitals, military barracks, boarding schools, convents, seminaries, prisons, etc.
i. Unintended Living Quarters: Unintended living quarters are structurally separate and independent places of abodes. They may have been built. constructed. Converted or arranged for human habitation provided they are not at the time of the census used wholly for other purposes. They may also be in use for habitation at the time of the census although not intended for habitation.
