Housing & Development Board (HDB) Sample Household Survey results appear in this Singapore public housing collection. CSV datasets cover HDB Households by Ethnic Group, by Flat Type, and cross-tabulated percentages by flat type and ethnic group—key for studying social mix in Singapore’s estates. Urban sociologists, planners, and journalists writing about HDB demography can download the tables for 2008–2018 coverage. Official metadata explains the household-dwelling unit definition used in the quinquennial survey.
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.
