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