More information about accommodation types
Whole house or bungalow: This property type is not divided into flats or other living accommodation. There are three types of whole houses or bungalows.
Detached: None of the living accommodation is attached to another property but can be attached to a garage.
Semi-detached: The living accommodation is joined to another house or bungalow by a common wall that they share.
Terraced: A mid-terraced house is located between two other houses and shares two common walls. An end-of-terrace house is part of a terraced development but only shares one common wall.
Flats (Apartments) and maisonettes: An apartment is another word for a flat. A maisonette is a 2-storey flat.
Note: There is an additional criteria in the 2021 Census Questionnaire, "Part of another converted building (for example, former school, church or warehouse)?. The definitions of household type have changed in some instances between 2011 and 2021.
