Purpose of the Classification
Statistical Domains:
1.7 Human settlements and housing
Purpose:
To identify type of ownership of the housing unit itself and not of that of the land on which it stands. Type of ownership should not be confused with tenure. Information should be obtained to show: (a) Whether the housing unit is owned by the public sector (central government, local government, public corporations);
(b) Whether the housing unit is privately owned (by households, private corporations, cooperatives, housing associations and so on). The question is sometimes expanded to show whether the housing units are fully paid for, being purchased in installments or mortgaged.
