Total population
Note: A domestic unit means a house, flat, tenement floor or other living accommodation intended for occupation
by one household.
Group A estates refer to the former Government low-cost housing and the former Housing Authority estates. Group B estates refer to the former resettlement estates.
The statistics for government quarters are based on actual returns from various government departments. The population figures include persons living in barrack type accommodation, but this type of accommoda- tion is not included in the domestic unit figures. Non-departmental government quarters are included in the figures for private housing.
