United Nations Expert Group Meeting on the

Principles and Recommendations for Housing Censuses

5-8 June 2006

United Nations, New York

Draft

Recommended Housing Tabulations [1]

Prepared by

Demographic and Social Statistics Branch

United Nations Statistics Division

Introduction

1. The major goal of the second revision of the Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses is to recommend a set of statistics and accompanying tabulations that need to be produced at the lowest geographical level pertaining to the same point in time for a country or area to be able to meet its demographic and socio-economic development goals planning gorals and monitoring. The majority of national statistical authorities use a population and housing census as the single most comprehensive vehicle to collect these necessary statistics. The revised set of recommendations will therefore, provide a set of guidelines that will enable countries or areas to produce a set of tabulations for relatively small areas and for the same point in time.

2. It is in the light of this new international standard – recommended set of tabulations – that a set of sixteen housing census tabulations was developed with several purposes: (a) to guide countries in developing their own census tabulation programmes, (b) to ensure international and regional comparability, and (c) to ensure instruments for international collection of statistics are standardized and used by all data collectors. It is with the item (c) on mind that a meeting of the Technical Subgroup of the United Nations Expert Group, held in Dublin, Ireland, October 2005, with representatives from data collectors on international level, agreed on a set of recommended tabulations.

3. The tabulations are presented below and should be read in the context of the other two papers, namely Proposed Changes to the United Nations Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses, Revision 1 on the Section on Housing Censuses (ESA/STAT/AC.115/2) and Draft Topics to be Investigated in Housing Censuses (ESA/STAT/AC.115/3) as they are heavily cross-referenced.
