Description

Definition
A building is defined as any structure built, designed or intended for the enclosure, shelter or protection of any person, animal or property. It consists of one or more rooms and/or other spaces, covered by a roof, and usually enclosed within external walls or with common dividing walls with adjacent buildings, which usually extend from the foundation to the roof.

Notes
The distribution of households by type of building supplies information about the available housing accommodation at the time of census, patterns of living, and building trends. Such details are essential for planning future housing needs. Specifically, for housing programmes, information is required on the number of households that need to be provided with housing. The number of households living in marginal housing units (commercial/industrial/agricultural buildings used as living quarters, such as barns, warehouses, mills, offices, and others, and other housing units such as boats, caves, and others) provides an approximation of this element of housing needs.
