Sample Household Survey: Age of HDB Resident Population, by Ethnic Group and Flat Type
Housing & Development Board (HDB) Sample Household Survey (SHS) results in this collection profile ages of HDB resident populations by ethnic group and flat type from 2008 through 2018. Six CSV datasets cover averages, medians, and working-age breakdowns for citizens and permanent residents excluding subtenants. Demographers studying ageing in public housing can compare ethnic and flat-type cohorts on the five-year SHS cycle. Figures represent survey estimates rather than register-based censuses.
Official description
Data is derived from the Sample Household Survey (SHS) which is conducted once every 5 years.
HDB resident population refers to Singapore citizens and Singapore permanent residents (SPRs) residing in HDB flats, excluding subtenants.
Housing & Development Board CSV of HDB resident population aged 15 years and above by flat type from 2008 through 2018. Columns cover Sample Household Survey year, flat type, and number of persons. Housing demographers track how adult HDB residents distribute across flat sizes over the decade.
Distribution of HDB resident population by ethnic group and age group, expressed as percentages by SHS year. Supports public housing demographic profiling, ageing-in-place analysis across Chinese, Malay, Indian, and other communities, and ethnic composition trends within Singapore's HDB estates.
Average and median age of the HDB resident population by ethnic group and SHS year. Useful for ageing analysis in public housing, inter-ethnic demographic comparisons, and planning for elder-friendly estate services in Singapore.
Housing & Development Board CSV from Sample Household Survey years 2008–2018 showing the age distribution of the HDB resident population by flat type as percentage shares. Housing demographers analyse how age structure varies across 1-room to larger HDB flat types in Singapore’s public housing estates.
Housing & Development Board CSV of HDB resident population aged 15 and above by ethnic group from 2008 through 2018, aligned with Sample Household Survey years. Housing researchers study ethnic composition within Singapore’s public housing resident population over time.
HDB Sample Household Survey statistics on average and median age of HDB resident population by flat type from 2008 through 2018. CSV fields include SHS year, flat type, average age, and median age—useful for ageing-in-place, housing cohort, and public estate demographic profiling in Singapore.
