This proportion is most unfavourable for cooperative peasant households (21 percent), and 49 percent of the flats of working class households have full comfort. The tenure is private ownership in 94 percent for the cooperative peasantry. This proportion is 70 percent for the working class and 55 percent for the professionals and routine nonmanuals. The proportion of tenancy is very high among the professionals and routine nonmanuals (44 percent), while this proportion is 29 percent for working class households and only 6 percent for cooperative peasant households. The sub-tenancy is highest among the professionals and routine nonmanuals, almost 1 percent. THE COMPOSITION OF HOUSEHOLDS LIVING IN THE DWELLINGS In the past decade the distribution of occupied dwellings by the number households changed only slightly. The number of dwellings used by one household was 3 million 74 thousand in 1980 (90 percent). Their number grew by 332 thousand, almost to the same extent as the number of all dwellings since 1970, but their proportion slightly decreased. The number of those dwellings where two households live together increased from 213 thousand to 264 thousand, but their proportion is only 8 percent. The number of dwellings where three or more households live together decreased from 61 thousand to 32 thousand by almost 50 percent, their proportion today is less than 1 percent. At the beginning of 1980 one household occupied 93 percent of the one-room dwellings. On 35 percent out of these 35 percent were the non-family households, usually single persons. The proportion of two and more households living together is 5 percent for one-room dwellings, 8 percent for tworoom ones, 12 percent for three-room ones and 23 percent for four-or-more-room ones.
