Note: The distributions of quarters and persons are adjusted using the result of the 1976 By-Census.
A quarter is a premises occupied by one or more households.
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 popula- tion figures include persons living in barrack type accommodation, but this type of accommodation is not included in the quarter figures. Non-departmental government quarters are included in the figures for private housing.
