Get MicrodataData file: Household Amenities & Housing Conditions
This dataset provides detailed information on housing conditions, household amenities, and access to basic facilities, offering insights into the living environment and quality of housing among households. It captures key housing characteristics, including the type of dwelling and the construction materials used for roofs, walls, and floors, which are essential indicators for assessing housing quality and durability.
The dataset further contains information on the tenancy status of dwellings, distinguishing between owner-occupied, rented, and other tenure arrangements. This enables analysis of housing security and tenure patterns across households.
Data on household amenities are comprehensively covered, including sources of drinking water during the wet and dry seasons, reflecting seasonal variations in water access. The dataset also records whether households treat or boil drinking water in both seasons, providing important information for assessing water safety practices.
Energy use within households is captured through variables on sources of lighting energy, sources of cooking energy, and types of cooking devices, supporting analysis of energy access, reliance on traditional versus modern fuels, and potential exposure to indoor air pollution. The dataset also includes information on garbage disposal methods and types of toilet facilities, which are key indicators of environmental sanitation and public health conditions.
