Sample Household Survey: HDB Households, by Ethnic Group and Flat Type

Updated 7 months ago

Data is derived from the Sample Household Survey (SHS) which is conducted once every 5 years.

A household is defined based on the household-dwelling unit concept as an entire group of persons, who may or may not be related, living together in a housing unit. There may also be one-person households, where a person lives alone in a single housing unit. The household is equated with the housing unit and there is usually one household per housing unit. Subtenants or maids dwelling in the same housing unit as the lessee(s) or registered tenant(s) do not constitute part of the household.
