1990 POPULATION CENSUS Detailed data based on a 2 per cent representative sample (1992)

C/ Housing, the housing conditions of the population

In general, in the smaller dwellings (of 1-2 rooms) there is one household living , two or more households are rather characteristic in larger dwellings (of 3-4 rooms). Two or more households live in 9 per cent and already in 15 per cent of the three-room and, respectively, of the four-room dwellings. 54.

These dwellings are of a high quality, amply equipped with facilities: 44 per cent have all modern comforts, 31 per cent have some modern comforts Nearly three quarters of the dwellings in which there is (also) an elderly inhabitant, are one-room, one-and-a half- or two-room flats. One third of the dwellings occupied only by elderly persons are one-room flats. Almost half the dwellings used only by young persons have all modern comforts, among them, the number of two-room dwellings is the highest, their proportion is 30 per cent. Young inhabitants are to be found in 55 per cent of the dwellings, nearly in 2 million dwellings, the number of these young people together with the older persons living with them is near to 7 400 000. 46
