Data description | Dwellings by number of the rooms, type of settlement (town, village), useful floor space by type of settlement (town, village). |
Classification system | · Classification of Territorial Units for Statistical Purposes in Bulgaria (NUTS); · Unified Classification of the Administrative-Territorial and Territorial Units in Bulgaria (UCATTU). |
Sector coverage | The survey covers all residential buildings and dwellings in the country. |
Statistical concepts and definitions | Residential buildings are the buildings which by initial building or after reconstruction are suitable for living and consists of one or more dwellings which take at least 60% from the total area. In the coverage of the survey ”Housing fund at the end of the year” are included inhabited and uninhabited residential buildings, campuses and buildings of institutional households. Residential building are divided into following types:
The dwelling is separate and independent in the terms of construction place, which by initial building or after reconstruction is suitable for living, has one or several rooms (housing or service) and has one or several separate exits to a generally accessible part (stairs, yard or straight to the street), irrespective of whether a kitchen has been built. A dwelling which is situated on two or three floors in one residential building where live one household is counted as one dwelling. However, each floor is counted as a separate dwelling if separate household lives on each floor. The rooms in the hotel type constructions (hall system) in which live separate households are counted as separate dwellings. All rooms and services in the buildings in which are accommodated people from the joint household (boarding-houses, specialized homes, cloisters, prisons, etc) form one dwelling place. Living floor space is the floor area of living-rooms, bedrooms, children's rooms, recesses for sleeping, dining-rooms, the rooms for day-stay, cabinets and libraries of scientists, drawing-rooms and kitchens over 4 sq. m. floor area. Тhe space of the kitchens with over 4 sq. m floor area was presented separately before 31.12.2018. A room is defined as a space in the dwelling enclosed by walls reaching from the floor to the ceiling or roof, of a size large enough to hold a bed for an adult (4 sq. meters at least) and at least 2 meters high over the major area of the ceiling. From 2025 the total area of the dwellings in the building serves as a source of information on the useful floor space. Until the end of 2024 the useful floor space of the dwellings is calculated as the sum of the living floor space and the service floor space. The living-floor-space per capita is calculated on the base of the number of the population at the end of the year. The data about the residential buildings and the dwellings in them are presented according to the administrative division of Bulgaria as of 31.12. of the reference year. The data of the housing fund as of 31.12. is obtained on the basis of results from the last conducted Census of housing fund and to them every year is added the number of newly constructed residential buildings and dwellings and are taken out destroyed during the reference year. |
