Sample Household Survey: HDB Elderly and Future Elderly Resident Population

Housing & Development Board (HDB) open data derives from the Sample Household Survey (SHS), conducted every five years, focusing on elderly and future-elderly residents in HDB flats. Seven CSV datasets break counts by age, sex, ambulant status, ethnicity, flat type, geography, marital status, and tenure. Policymakers studying ageing-in-place and HDB demographic structure can compare cohorts defined as aged 65+ and 55–64 among citizens and permanent residents. The collection supports Singapore public-housing social planning research.

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. They include owners/co-owners, HDB rental tenants and occupiers. Elderly resident population refers to resident population aged 65 years old and above. Future elderly resident population refers to resident population aged between 55 and 64 years old.

HDB Elderly and Future Elderly Resident Population by Marital Status

HDB Elderly and Future Elderly Resident Population by Flat Type

Housing & Development Board table showing how Singapore's elderly and future elderly HDB resident population is distributed across flat types, covering survey years from 2003 to 2018. Each row records the survey (SHS) year, the elderly or future elderly population group, the flat type such as smaller or larger HDB units, and the percentage of that group living in it. Because the values are shares rather than headcounts, the data is best read as a housing profile of ageing residents. Planners, gerontology researchers, and ageing-in-place policy analysts use it to see which flat types older Singaporeans occupy and how that mix has shifted over fifteen years.
