Unit definitions	1980
Dwellings	The technically (architecturally) connected units (living-, cooking-, hygienic- etc. rooms) built originally or transformed later for residential purposes and serving also for the time being as human dwelling which has direct access from outside (street, square) or through a garden or a common hall (stairway, corridor) within the building is understood as dwelling. The dwelling may consist also of one single room.
Households	Household is generally the group of persons living together in a common housing unit or in a part of it, share the costs of living partly or totally, and have their meals together on one or more days of the week. Persons living in the same dwelling but having independent claims to live there are not qualified as a common household even if the above detailed criteria were existing. Thus, co-tenants, home-owner or tenant with sub-tenant or night-lodger form by no means common household.
