1990 POPULATION CENSUS Detailed data based on a 2 per cent representative sample (1992)
B/ Main characteristics of households and families
respective proportional decrease.The number of households living in co-tenancy became insignificant (4400 households), almost three quarters of them live in the capital. The proportion of households living in their flats as owners (or the latter's relatives) is 44 per cent in Budapest, nearly three quarters in the other úrban areas and 93 per cent in rural areas. Over half of the households in the capital use their dwellings as tenants or the latter's relatives, in the other úrban areas this proportion is 23 per cent, while in rural areas only each eighteenth household rents its dwelling. In 9 per cent of the households living as owners or the latter's relatives the actual owner does not live in the household and mostly not even in the fiat. In the case of persons living in the legal relationship of tenancy in the dwelling this share is 8 per cent. a/ 35.

At the processing of the data of households by cháracteristics of the dwelling it was not examined whether the household lives in the dwelling alone or maybe together with another household, consequently the data show only the title under which the households live in their respective dwellings as well as the latter's size and facilities. During ten years the proportion of households living in one-room dwellings decreased significatly, by 10 percentage points, to 16 per cent, and nearly half of them (49 per cent) and a further 45 per cent consist of one family and respectively, of one lone person. On the other hand, the share of households living in two-and-a-half-room or greater flats grew, from 22 per cent to 32 per cent, while the proportion of those living in one-and-a-half-room or twoo-room flats has scarcely changed. 2 10 per cent of the households live in dwellings with a floor-space under 40 m , while 35 per cent 2 live in dwellings with a floor-space over 80 m . Nearly half (47 per cent) of the households living in small dwellings consist of one person, 31 per cent — of two persons and only 3 per cent — of five or 2 more persons. Among the households living in dwellings with a floor-space over 80 m , every seventheighth consists of one person, the proportion of five or five-plus-person households is the same, while the proportion of households consisting of two-four persons varies between 22 and 26 per cent. 2 In Budapest, one fifth of the households live in dwellings of 39 m or smaller and alsó almost 20 per cent have dwellings twice as large. The composition of dwellings occupied by households by floorspace in the provinciai localities is quite different. In úrban areas, each twelfth, in rural areas 2 scarcely each nineteenth household lives in dwellings smaller than 40 m , while each third household lives in large dwellings in úrban areas and each second in rural areas. 85 per cent of the households (in the capital 99 per cent) live in dwellings with water conduit (most of them alsó with sewer), while in the dwellings of more than three quarters of the households there is a flush toilet, too. 33
