Importance
Dwelling type is a useful indicator in assessing density, which is an important issue in the housing market today. Apartments represent higher density dwellings, whilst separate dwellings are more likely to attract one family. Dwelling type statistics are most useful when viewed in conjunction with household size, household type and age structure for a more complete picture of the housing market.
