  1. JointUNECE-Eurostat Work Session on Housing CensusesGeneva, 26 November 2004COMMENTS ON THE 2000 RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOUSING CENSUSES AND PROPOSALS FOR THE 2010 RECOMMENDATIONS Martti Lujanen

  2. Main proposal Occupied conventional permanent dwellings should be used as the main indicator concerning the term dwelling stock.

  3. Main proposal Occupied conventional permanent dwellings should be used as the main indicator concerning the term dwelling stock. • Information about occupied dwellings is needed when counting issues concerning housing standard • Additional statistics could be reported when available. Especially information about vacant dwellings is very useful

  4. Occupied conventional permanent dwellings • only way to guarantee comparability of housing statistics between countries - not all countries collect information about vacant dwellings

  5. Occupied conventional permanent dwellings • only way to guarantee comparability of housing statistics between countries - not all countries collect information about vacant dwellings - for some other countries, information about vacant dwellings is often of poor quality

  6. Occupied conventional permanent dwellings • only way to guarantee comparability of housing statistics between countries - not all countries collect information about vacant dwellings - for some other countries, information about vacant dwellings is often of poor quality - under the present recommendations, dwellings reserved for seasonal or secondary use, but fit for habitation year-round, are included in the dwelling stock

  7. Occupied conventional permanent dwellings • only way to guarantee comparability of housing statistics between countries - not all countries collect information about vacant dwellings - for some other countries, information about vacant dwellings is often of poor quality - under the present recommendations, dwellings reserved for seasonal or secondary use, but fit for habitation year-round, are included in the dwelling stock - most countries, however, exclude these from the dwelling stock; it is also operationally difficult to decide which of these dwellings are fit for habitation year- round

  8. Types of accommodation included in dwelling stock (Housing Statistics in the European Union 2003, p. 36)

  9. Composition of dwelling stock (conventional dwelling) and the new way of reporting statistics Dwellings in seasonal or secondary use Optional statistics Vacant dwellings Reported statistics from all countries Occupied conventional permanent dwellings

  10. Type of ownership Proposed classification: 1.0 Owner-occupied dwellings (old category 1.0) 2.0 Rented dwellings 2.1 In private ownership (old category 2.1) 2.2 Owned by the local or central government and/or by housing non-profit associations and/or by other social landlords (old category 2.2) 3.0 Dwellings in cooperative ownership (mainly old category 2.3) 4.0 Dwellings in other types of ownership (rest of old category 2.3)

  13. Number of rooms • definition of a room: • room size, min. 4 m2 • height 2 m • window is not needed • kitchen should be included with the number of rooms (countries could additionally report the number of rooms with kitchen excluded) • the minimum size of the kitchen should be the same as for the other rooms
