Sample Household Survey: Number of Income Earners in HDB Households, by Ethnic Group and Flat Type
Housing & Development Board (HDB) Sample Household Survey results for Singapore appear in this collection as income earner counts by ethnic group and flat type among HDB residents aged 15 and above. Four CSV datasets cover average and total earners across ethnic and flat-type breakdowns, with figures rounded to the nearest 1,000 as officially noted. Housing economists and social policy researchers can study intra-HDB income structure using the quinquennial SHS methodology. Interpret results within SHS sampling design rather than as a full population census.
