Type Of Dwelling

Rooms in compound houses are the predominant occupied units by households in most districts,
except Kintampo (31.8%) and Sene (41.4%) where the separate house is the predominant dwelling
unit. Jaman (62.1%) and Berekum (59.8%) have the highest proportion of households occupying
rooms in compound houses, with four districts (Sunyani, Tano, Wenchi and Techiman) having
between 50.0 per cent and 60.0 per cent of households occupying such units. Flats and apartments
are used more in Sunyani (4.6%) than in any other district. Except for Berekum (3.4%) and Asunafo
(2.1%), all other districts have less than 2.0 per cent of households occupying flats and apartments.
The use of huts as occupied units is most common in Sene (because of the large rural settlements)
while Sunyani and Berekum (the most urbanised districts) have most of the improvised homes
(kiosk/container). Tents are the least used occupied units.
